Shrimp sold in 31 states recalled due to possible radioactive contamination

AquaStar (USA) Corp. is recalling more than 85,000 bags of shrimp sold at Kroger, Walmart, and other retailers across 31 states due to potential contamination with cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

The recall affects multiple products, including raw and cooked shrimp varieties sold between June 12 and Sept. 17, 2025.

While no shrimp have tested positive for cesium-137 and no illnesses have been reported, the FDA warns that long-term exposure could increase cancer risk.

Consumers are advised to dispose of or return the products for a refund, CBS News has reported.

The shrimp were imported from Indonesia’s PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, the same company linked to a recent Walmart shrimp recall.
