The United States Food and Medicines Administration (FDA) launched a warning aimed at consumers, distributors and retailers: they should not eat, sell or serve certain frozen raw shrimp of the Great Value brand, marketed in Walmart.
The alert originated when the Office of Customs and Border Protection detected the possible presence of CESIO-137 in containers from Indonesia. Subsequently, tests carried out to products from the BMS Foods distributor confirmed the presence of this radioactive substance in shipments.
Although the FDA clarified that no contaminated lot has entered the food supply in the United States, the agency asked consumers to take precautions. In his statement, he said: “If you have bought Raw Walmart cracks that coincide with this description, disregard them.”
