More Bags of Frozen Shrimp Recalled for Potential Radioactive Contamination — Here Are the 17 States Affected

More bags of frozen shrimp have been recalled for potential radioactive contamination.

On Friday, Dec. 19, Direct Source Seafood recalled approximately 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp that was imported from Indonesia and sold under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brands, according to the US. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The products — including 1-lb bags and 2-lb bags of frozen raw shrimp — “may have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with cesium-137,” per the FDA. Cesium-137, abbreviated to Cs-137, is described as a “man-made radioisotope of cesium.”

The bags of frozen shrimp were distributed to Price, Chopper, Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, Safeway, Lucky and Supermarket stores across 17 states. Those states include Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming.

The products were sold on or after June 30, 2025 and have best by dates ranging between April 22, 2027, and April 27, 2027.

In August, raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart was recalled due to trace amounts of Cs-137, a radioactive isotope with a half life of about 30 years. In the weeks following, Southwind Foods of California and Beaver Fisheries followed suit, recalling additional tens of thousands of bags of frozen shrimp.

In September, the recall was expanded to even more stores after AquaStar Corp recalled nearly 70,000 bags of frozen shrimp from Kroger stores across the United States.

According to the FDA, the primary health effect of concern following repeated low dose exposure to Cs-137 is “an elevated risk of cancer, resulting from damage to DNA within living cells of the body.”

“Traces of Cs-137 are widespread and can be present in the environment at background levels, and at higher levels in water or foods grown, raised, or produced in areas with environmental contamination,” the organization explained.

While the FDA has stated that no illnesses have been reported to date, the administration has advised consumers who have purchased the affected shrimp to refrain from eating the product and to dispose of it or return it for a full refund.
