Overview

• The FDA recommended Walmart recall three Great Value raw frozen shrimp lots and advised consumers and retailers to dispose of them: 8005540-1, 8005538-1, and 8005539-1, all best by March 15, 2027.
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection detected Cesium-137 in containers at ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, leading to denied entry for alerting shipments.
• FDA laboratory testing confirmed Cs-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp linked to PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods) of Indonesia, and officials say no product that tested positive entered U.S. commerce.
• BMS Foods has been placed on an FDA import alert that bars its products from entering the United States until the firm addresses the violation.
• The affected Great Value shrimp were sold in Walmart stores across 13 states, and regulators note the detected level (~68 Bq/kg) is below the acute-hazard threshold though repeated low-dose exposure could raise cancer risk; the investigation and supply-chain tracing continue.
