More than 85,000 bags of shrimp are being recalled due to concerns that they may have been contaminated with cesium-137 as federal health officials continue to investigate how the radioactive element may have entered the food supply.

Seattle-based AquaStar (USA) Corp recalled approximately 49,920 bags of Kroger Raw Colossal EZ Peel Shrimp, 18,000 bags of Kroger Mercado Cooked Medium Peeled Tail-Off Shrimp and 17,264 bags of AquaStar Raw Peeled Tail-on Shrimp Skewers because they may have been prepared, packed or held under unsanitary conditions, which may have led to their contamination, according to a notice from The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

It’s the latest in a string of recalls linked to cesium-137 over the past month that the FDA has been investigating.
