Distributor recalls various shrimp because of radioactive concerns; some Walmart products included
Southwind Foods LLC of Carson, CA, is recalling several brands of frozen shrimp, including some sold at Walmart stores, because of possible radioisotope (Cesium-137) contamination.
Cs-137 is a man-made radioisotope of cesium. 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 primary health effect of concern following longer term, repeated low dose exposure through consumption of contaminated food or water over time is an elevated risk of cancer, resulting from damage to DNA within living cells of the body.
The bagged, frozen shrimp product was distributed between July 17 and Aug. 8, 2025 to retailers, distributors, and wholesalers in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

Consumers who have purchased the recall frozen shrimp should not consume the product and should dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 323-262-8222
