Overview

• Walmart removed three lots of Great Value raw frozen shrimp (lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1, 8005539-1; best-by March 15, 2027) from 13 states and is offering refunds.
• CBP detected Cs-137 in BMS Foods shipping containers at ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, and FDA labs found the isotope in one breaded shrimp sample.
• FDA placed PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods) on an import alert blocking further entries and is tracing shipments with CBP and Indonesian regulators.
• Officials say no shrimp in U.S. commerce has tested above intervention levels, and all containers or products that alerted positive were denied entry.
• FDA warns repeated low-dose exposure could raise cancer risk and advises consumers to discard the specified Walmart shrimp rather than eat or serve it.
