Walmart has recalled frozen shrimp sold under its Great Value brand in 13 US states after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected Caesium-137 in a shipment from Indonesia, according to BBC.
The contaminated sample did not reach stores, but the FDA warned long-term exposure to the isotope can raise cancer risks. Walmart has removed the products, restricted sales, and urged customers in affected states to discard purchases for a full refund.
The recall applies to stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia, BBC reported.
