Again? Over 80 thousand shrimp recalled due to Radioactive Contamination

Remember the previous recall of radioactive shrimp a while back?

This time over 80 thousand shrimp with best by dates of April 22 2027-April 27 2027 were recalled due to potential radioactivity exposure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a large-scale recall affecting about 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp sold in stores across 17 states because of concerns the product may be contaminated with the radioactive isotope cesium-137 (Cs-137). The recall, announced in mid-December, covers shrimp imported from Indonesia and distributed under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brand names.

The recalled products were sold in multiple supermarket chains, including Price Chopper, Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, Safeway, and Lucky Supermarket, spanning northeastern, midwestern, and western states. The recall follows a series of related shrimp recalls throughout 2025 tied to cesium concerns, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of imported seafood safety.

Consumers who may have purchased the recalled shrimp should check their packages for the following UPC codes and best-by dates before disposing of or returning them:

• Market 32 Frozen Raw Shrimp (1 lb) – UPC: 0 41735 01358 3 (best-by April 22–27, 2027)

• Waterfront Bistro Frozen Raw Shrimp (2 lb) – UPC: 021130 13224-9 (best-by April 25–26, 2027) Spokesman-Review
