The primary health concern associated with Cesium-137 is an elevated risk of cancer due to DNA damage from long-term, repeated low-dose exposure. Consumers who have purchased the recalled frozen shrimp are advised not to consume it and to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA said.

The Food and Drug Administration has recalled three more lots of frozen shrimp over concerns the products may be contaminated with a radionuclide (Cesium-137). The recall applies to a limited quantity of Great Value frozen raw shrimp EZ-peel & deveined tail-on 21-25 per pound packages.

People should not eat, sell or serve certain frozen shrimp products produced by Indonesia-based BMS Foods, the Food and Drug Administration has warned.
