Check Your Freezer – More Shrimp Recalled in Washington State
More frozen shrimp is being recalled due to possible exposure to radiation levels. In a release from the Food and Drug Administration, Aquastar (USA) Corp of Seattle is voluntarily recalling frozen shrimp imported from Indonesia:
Because they may have been prepared, packed, or held under conditions whereby they may have become exposed to very low levels of cesium-137 (Cs-137)
It's Important to Note: NONE of the Recalled Product Ever Tested Positive for Cs-137.
No illnesses were reported. This recall was a precautionary measure. If you have any of the recalled frozen shrimp in your possession, do NOT consume the product. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
