In a bizarre moment on the Senate floor, Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy warned Wednesday that eating radioactive shrimp sold at stores including Walmart and Kroger could turn people into the monster from the sci-fi horror movie Alien.
The FDA expanded its recall of shrimp products last week due to possible contamination with the radioactive isotope Cesium-137. Nearly 45,000 packages, including Kroger Mercado and Aquastar cocktail shrimp, are affected. Additionally, certain Great Value frozen shrimp sold at Walmart were recalled on August 19.
