Direct Source Seafood Recalls 83,800 Bags of Shrimp Over Cesium-137 Risk

Regulators call the move precautionary because repeated low‑dose exposure to cesium‑137 can raise cancer risk.

Overview

  • The FDA announced a voluntary recall by Direct Source Seafood covering about 83,800 one‑ and two‑pound bags of raw frozen shrimp imported from Indonesia.
  • Affected items were sold under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brands at retailers including Price Chopper, Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco and Lucky in roughly 17 states.
  • Distribution included Western states such as Colorado, Idaho and Oregon and Northeast markets served by Price Chopper, with no illnesses reported to date.
  • Products went on sale between June 30 and July 11, 2025, carry best‑by dates of April 22–27, 2027, and retailers were instructed to pull the listed lots.
  • Consumers are urged not to eat the shrimp and to discard it or return it for a refund, as this recall follows earlier 2025 withdrawals for trace cesium‑137 involving Walmart, Southwind Foods, Beaver Fisheries and AquaStar products.
