From Walmart, no less.
LiveScience: FDA issues warning over possible radioactive shrimp
The FDA is warning consumers not to eat certain frozen shrimp products sold at Walmart after other products from the same company tested positive for a radioactive substance
The bad shrimp was imported by PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati aka BMS Foods.
While at least one shipment contaminated with cesium-137 was caught upon insoection, the FDA is warning people not to eat BMS shrimp they may have bought from Walmart at this time.
Nope, I did not have Radioactive Indonesian Shrimp on my list of concerns for August, but "Radioactive Indonesian Shrimp" would make a great name for a midget heavy metal band.

one has to ask where the shrimp came into contact with detectable levels of C-137.
Seriously, it ain't like that artificial radionuclide is just lying around....
B: It's a darn good question.
Was the contamination introduced during the shrimp farming, harvesting, processing, or packing and shipping?
Be interesting to see if this is followed up and the source found.
