Another radioactive shrimp recall involves Publix and Albertsons store brands

The latest recall of possibly radioactive shrimp yanks frozen shrimp sold under four brands, including store brands of Albertsons stores and Publix, was issued Friday.

AquaStar out of Seattle issued the recall.

All these recalls concern shrimp from Indonesian manufacturer PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, which does business as BMS Foods. In Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and Savannah, Customs & Border Protection agents found man-made radioactive isotope Cesium-137 (CS-137) in shipping containers. Follow-up FDA testing found Cs-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp.

“At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. marketplace,” the FDA said in the most recent update on Oct. 7. The agency says investigation has “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.”
