The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning the public about possibly radioactive shrimp being sold and distributed in multiple states.
Southwind Foods, a California-based company, "voluntarily" recalled a select amount of frozen shrimp due to possible contamination with the radioactive isotope cesium-137, the FDA said in a Thursday press release.
The possibly contaminated shrimp was distributed between July 17 to Aug. 8, 2025, to retail stores, distributors and wholesale locations in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
Brands affected by the recall are: Arctic Shores Seafood Company, Best Yet, First Street, Great American Seafood Imports Co. and Sand Bar.
The following products have been recalled and should not be consumed or served:
Cesium-137, according to the CDC, is produced by nuclear fission for use in radiation-detection equipment, like radiation therapy devices for treating cancer and industrial gauges that discern the flow of liquid through pipes. Side effects of cesium-137, also known as Cs-137, include burns, acute radiation and, in some cases, death.

The FDA issued a similar warning earlier this week. On Tuesday morning, the FDA advised Walmart customers in a press release not to “eat, sell, or serve certain imported frozen shrimp” from an Indonesian distributor, BMS Foods, also due to possible contamination with the radioactive isotope.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection detected Cs-137 in shipping containers at four ports in the United States. The FDA tested a sample of frozen shrimp from Indonesia’s BMS Foods, which came back positive for Cs-137. No shrimp that has tested positive for Cs-137 has entered the U.S. food supply, according to the FDA.
The following Great Value brand frozen shrimp products have been affected:
- Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, best by date: March 15, 2027
- Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, best by date: March 15, 2027
- Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, best by date: March 15, 2027
The frozen shrimp product, according to the FDA’s press release, appears to have been “prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.”
For customers who’ve recently purchased any of the affected frozen shrimp products as described above, the FDA recommends that they be thrown out immediately.
“Distributors and retailers should dispose of this product and should not sell or serve this product,” the FDA warned.
The FDA has also added Indonesia’s BMS Foods to a new import alert for chemical contamination. Products from the firm will no longer enter the United States until they’ve “resolved the conditions that gave rise to the appearance of the violation.”
