The FDA said it is working with distributors and retailers that received the shrimp from BMS Foods "to recommend that firms conduct a recall," according to the press release.
If the FDA is confident enough to warn us about it, why aren't they forcing a recall?
Has it occurred to you that some people may like eating radioactive shrimp? They should be free to do so!
Honestly, I'm upset at these Big Government Nanny State tactics, trying to scare me into not eating the radioactive shrimp which I've heard are actually healthier than regular shrimp.
Can we get DOGE to investigate these guys? Who is bankrolling them to spread misinformation?
Mmm... Spongy jaw...
I fully support any people who want to eat radioactive shrimp to be allowed to eat radioactive shrimp
Says the EPA limit is 1200Bq/kg, and the shrimp are at 68Bq/kg, so its nowhere near the limit. The way I see it I can eat 17.6kg or 38.8lbs of that shrimp before it hits that limit, and I know those limits are conservative for safety reasons, so I can exceed that without too much concern.
Based on some other limits from the NRC and some very rough math I would be willing to eat up to 98000 pounds of that per year. I'll play it safe and take about 2000 pounds of free shrimp please.
That would require taking responsibility.
"Radioactive shrimp from Walmart" sounds like good sci-fi.
Joking aside, Walmart is a prolific human rights abuser. People in not only USA, but Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and China have been reported to have intensive labor exploitation and abuse.
Forced labor, wage theft, sexual harassment, and sweatshop conditions with extremely low pay and long hours are among reports. Also, forced prison labor in Southeast Asia linked to their suppliers, allegations involving Uyghur forced labor in China, ... just .. ugh.
Well, you can’t make obscenely large profits with ever-increasing rates of increase without those things
Yes, only eat the shrimp loaded with agricultural runoff and microplastics
As god intended
RFK Jr: no guys it’s cool, it’ll make you healthy. It’ll replace vaccines. It’s all natural.
I have seasoned these shrimp personally. They are very high in radiation, just like the healthy sun that bring us all life.
Living in the USA in 2025 is like that movie Cabin in the Woods. Basically every conceivable way for the country to end is happening simultaneously, all at once, and even then nobody bet on the radioactive shrimp, not even the maintenance crew. Granted, the reason they didn't bet on the shrimp is because they all got furloughed by DOGE back in February.
AS THE LEGENDS FORETOLD, THE AGE OF SHRIMP-MAN IS NIGH.
WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND GENERAL APPEARANCE OF A MAN, AND THE COLOUR AND EXOSKELETON OF A SHRIMP, NO EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS KMGHTY ENOUGH TO STOP SHRIMP MAN.
Why couldn't they just put the lot codes in numerical order!?
Hear that, MAGAs? Woke Walmart says you can eat the shrimp you just bought.
But it says "Great Value" on the package. Which is it?
they do have a great value, but in röntgens
Abundance of crime and slavery in the shrimp food chain still OK, apparently. (It's really depressing :/)
There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. Oh and cesium shrimp. But really, that's basically it.
Has anyone an idea where this contamination comes from? With a half-life of Cs-137 of 30 years, the pretty mild dosage and no knowledge of how long those shrimp were on ice, there are a lot of possible sources without info about the amount of Barium contained or am i wrong?
This wasn't on my vegan bingo sheet.
Is this contamination or is Cs-137 used in shrimp farming in some other context? Other than this final flavor preparation, I mean.
I guess they found out when they saw a couple glow in the shark :3
The FDA put out a warning. Well clearly there's another agency that should abolished and be left up to the states.
/s.
The seafood is radioactive?
@lemmy.zip, if you have to proxy image links, could you please not break them?
The radioactivity is probably the healthiest ingredient in any “fresh” seafood you can buy at Walmart
Can FDA do something with Walmart or the US is this fixed on individual responsibility?
How did you get your superpowers?
I bought shrimp at Walmart.
