Walmart Great Value Shrimp Pulled by FDA for Possible Radiation Exposure
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled all of Walmart’s Great Value frozen breaded shrimp after a processor in Indonesia had its shipments intercepted at U.S. ports earlier this month and does not believe any product has entered commerce here in the U.S.
The FDA is now urging consumers to avoid certain lots of the frozen shrimp brand after traces of radioactive cesium-137 were detected in imports from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods), a seafood processor located in the Modern Cikande Industrial Estate in Serang, Banten province.
