California Seafood Market Faces Renewed Nuclear Contamination Crisis

Following an August recall, the U.S. FDA announced another recall on September 22 of 85,000 bags of frozen shrimp sold at supermarkets across 31 states, including Walmart and Kroger. Testing revealed traces of radioactive cesium-137 in some products—though below regulatory limits, it poses long-term health risks. The contamination source points to Indonesia’s BMS Foods factory, potentially linked to local metal smelting facilities or nuclear waste processing. This incident exposes gaps in radiation testing across the global seafood supply chain.
