The Food and Drug Administration has warned the public not to consume certain frozen shrimp products sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

It said the warning affects the Great Value brand of raw frozen shrimp sold at the superstore, adding that anyone who purchased the products should dispose of them.

A statement from the agency said the FDA was “actively investigating reports of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products” shipped from Indonesia.

It said that the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) had detected Cs-137 in shipping containers at four U.S. ports: Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah, and Miami. Containers that tested positive for the isotope have been denied entry to the U.S.
