Shopping for anything at Walmart is quite terrifying, with all the mass shootings, the recalled food products, and the “people of Walmart” that are there regularly. It’s just not safe to mix with all those ‘animals’ and take chances like that. Plus, who really wants to support slave labor and evil corporations anyhow. Now, you better watch out for the shrimp, and check your freezer if you bought some there, because it just might be ‘nuclear’ shrimp. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a consumer warning after frozen shrimp imported from Indonesia tested positive for radioactive contamination. The affected products were processed by PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, also known as BMS Foods, and distributed in the United States through major retailers, including Walmart.
  • The FDA issued a warning after frozen shrimp from Indonesian company PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods), sold at Walmart, was linked to possible contamination with cesium-137 (Cs-137), a radioactive isotope.
  • S. Customs first detected Cs-137 in shipping containers of breaded shrimp headed to Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah, and Miami; although contaminated batches were blocked, the FDA fears other imported shrimp from the same supplier may also pose risks.
  • Walmart has been advised to recall affected frozen shrimp products, and consumers are urged to check lot numbers listed in the FDA’s notice, discarding any implicated items instead of eating or serving them.
  • While the detected Cs-137 levels weren’t immediately harmful, repeated long-term exposure can damage DNA and increase cancer risk. The FDA has placed BMS Foods on an import alert, halting its shrimp shipments to the U.S. pending investigation with Indonesian regulators.

FDA Issues Warning Over Possible Radioactive Shrimp

The FDA launched its investigation after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detected cesium-137 (Cs-137), a radioactive isotope, in shipping containers of shrimp destined for ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah, Georgia, and Miami. Laboratory testing confirmed Cs-137 contamination in at least one sample of breaded shrimp. These contaminated containers were denied entry into the U.S. and have not entered the food supply. Despite this, the FDA warned that other shrimp shipments from the same company—imported before the discovery of Cs-137—could still pose a risk. Although those earlier shipments did not test positive for radioactivity at the time, the FDA has asked retailers to recall them as a precaution. Walmart has already been identified as a recipient of some of these potentially affected shrimp products, and consumers are being urged to throw away any items that match the FDA’s listed lot numbers. Cesium-137, the isotope at the center of this warning, is a byproduct of nuclear reactions. Unlike its stable counterpart found naturally in soil, rocks, and dust, Cs-137 emerges from uranium decay, nuclear accidents, or nuclear weapons testing. With a half-life of about 30 years, the isotope can persist in the environment for decades. Trace amounts are already present globally, but concentrated exposure through food raises health concerns. The FDA emphasized that the levels of Cs-137 detected in the shrimp sample were not immediately harmful. Short-term exposure from consuming a single contaminated product would not likely cause acute health problems. However, repeated or long-term consumption could increase cancer risk due to DNA damage from radiation exposure. The agency underscored that cumulative exposure—when combined with everyday background radiation and medical imaging procedures—could heighten the danger. As the investigation continues, the FDA has placed BMS Foods on an import alert for chemical contamination, blocking its shrimp products from entering the U.S. until the company addresses safety violations. According to the FDA, BMS Foods violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by preparing or storing food under conditions that may have allowed contamination with Cs-137. The root cause of the contamination remains unclear. The FDA is working with Indonesian seafood regulators to determine how Cs-137 exposure may have occurred and to assess whether other seafood products from the region could be at risk. In the meantime, the FDA has pledged to trace all potentially implicated shipments through the supply chain, ensuring that no unsafe products reach consumers. For now, the FDA advises anyone who recently purchased frozen shrimp from Walmart to carefully review recall details and immediately discard any matching products. While only one positive sample has been identified, regulators stress that caution is necessary to protect public health.
