The United States Food and Medicines Administration (FDA) said Tuesday that it is actively investigating after a Walmart shrimp sending positive for a man -made radioactive material.
US Customs & Border Protection (CBP) alerted the FDA on the detection of CESIO-137 contamination (CS-137) in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products processed in Indonesia in four US ports, including Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, Georgia, according to a press release of the FDA.
The officials collected multiple samples for the radionuclide analysis, confirming CS-137 in a sample of empanados shrimp. The shrimp supplier, PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (also known as BMS Foods), added to the “red list”, which means that its products cannot be sold in the US. UU. Until the problem is solved.

Walmart allegedly received potentially contaminated crude fringed shrimp imported after the date of the first CBP detection, but of shipments that did not alert for CS-137, according to the statement.

CS-137 is a radioactive material made by man created during nuclear reactions. CS-137 traces can be found in the environment, including soil, food and air.
