August 22nd, 2025:
Beaver Street Fisheries, LLC of Jacksonville, FL is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Great Value Frozen Raw Shrimp EZ-Peel & Deveined Tail-On 21-25 Per lb as a precautionary measure per the recommended action stated in an FDA advisory statement dated 08/19/25 regarding Cesium-137 (Cs-137). The product was distributed in the states of AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MO, MS, OH, OK, PA, TX, and WV, and was available for consumer purchase in select Walmart retail stores in those states from 07/28/2025 to 08/07/2025.
As noted in the FDA statement issued on 8/19/25: “At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. commerce. FDA is working with distributors and retailers that received product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati after the date of first detection of Cs-137 by Customs & Border Protection (CBP), but from shipments that did not alert for Cs-137, to recommend that firms conduct a recall. In conjunction with other information, FDA determined that product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati violates the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act in that it appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.”
