Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65819, member: 636"] AquaStar has recalled certain frozen shrimp products due to possible contamination with cesium-137, a man-made radioactive substance. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the notice after the Seattle-based company reported that its shrimp might contain very low levels of the isotope. No illnesses have been linked to the product so far, but the recall is a precaution. The affected shrimp was sold under several brand names, including AquaStar, Publix, Best Yet, and Waterfront Bistro. Customers are urged to discard the product or return it for a refund. This follows an earlier recall involving Great Value and Kroger shrimp over the same concern, which impacted more than 85,000 bags in dozens of states. The FDA explains that cesium-137 can enter the food supply through environmental contamination. Consumers can check lot numbers and best-by dates on the agency’s website to see if their product is included. [/QUOTE]
