The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to the public about the Great Value shrimp at Walmart. Consumers should not eat, serve, or sell any shrimp that’s been recently bought from the retailer.
The reason for the Biblical-sounding warning was that shrimp was found to be laced with radioactive material. A statement released by health officials revealed that shipping containers from Indonesian company Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS) were found to be contaminated with Cesium-137 (Cs-137), which is radioactive in nature. The company has been a long-time supplier of shrimp to Walmart.
