Overview

• The FDA says a limited quantity of Southwind Foods products under the Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American, and First Street brands has been pulled.
• The recalled bags went to retailers, distributors, and wholesalers from July 17 to August 8 in Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Washington.
• The action follows Walmart’s earlier recall of Great Value frozen shrimp tied to Indonesia’s PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati after cesium-137 detections.
• Federal officials detected cesium-137 in shipping containers and in a sample of frozen breaded shrimp, and the FDA placed PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati on an import alert for chemical contamination.
• Consumers are urged not to eat the recalled shrimp and to discard it or seek refunds, and no illnesses have been reported.
