The FDA said it is working with distributors and retailers that received the shrimp from BMS Foods "to recommend that firms conduct a recall," according to the press release.
If the FDA is confident enough to warn us about it, why aren't they forcing a recall?
Has it occurred to you that some people may like eating radioactive shrimp? They should be free to do so!
Honestly, I'm upset at these Big Government Nanny State tactics, trying to scare me into not eating the radioactive shrimp which I've heard are actually healthier than regular shrimp.
Can we get DOGE to investigate these guys? Who is bankrolling them to spread misinformation?
Mmm... Spongy jaw...
I fully support any people who want to eat radioactive shrimp to be allowed to eat radioactive shrimp
Do you support their radioactive poop entering the municipal water treatment plant?
The more the merrier.
That would require taking responsibility.
Says the EPA limit is 1200Bq/kg, and the shrimp are at 68Bq/kg, so its nowhere near the limit. The way I see it I can eat 17.6kg or 38.8lbs of that shrimp before it hits that limit, and I know those limits are conservative for safety reasons, so I can exceed that without too much concern.
Based on some other limits from the NRC and some very rough math I would be willing to eat up to 98000 pounds of that per year. I'll play it safe and take about 2000 pounds of free shrimp please.
Please God let them add radioactive shrimp to the next Fallout game.
the next Fallout game.
Next one might not be a game.

"Radioactive shrimp from Walmart" sounds like good sci-fi.
Joking aside, Walmart is a prolific human rights abuser. People in not only USA, but Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and China have been reported to have intensive labor exploitation and abuse.
Forced labor, wage theft, sexual harassment, and sweatshop conditions with extremely low pay and long hours are among reports. Also, forced prison labor in Southeast Asia linked to their suppliers, allegations involving Uyghur forced labor in China, ... just .. ugh.
Well, you can’t make obscenely large profits with ever-increasing rates of increase without those things
Why couldn't they just put the lot codes in numerical order!?
The FDA still exists?
For now
Yes, only eat the shrimp loaded with agricultural runoff and microplastics
As god intended
This wasn't on my vegan bingo sheet.
RFK Jr: no guys it’s cool, it’ll make you healthy. It’ll replace vaccines. It’s all natural.
Hear that, MAGAs? Woke Walmart says you can eat the shrimp you just bought.
Here I was thinking Fission Blast Shrimp was just the branding!
I thought I was just enjoying it, but now the warm sensation in my stomach makes more sense. That and the sudden tail I started growing...
The radioactivity is probably the healthiest ingredient in any “fresh” seafood you can buy at Walmart
Abundance of crime and slavery in the shrimp food chain still OK, apparently. (It's really depressing :/)
How did you get your superpowers?
I bought shrimp at Walmart.
The seafood is radioactive?
@lemmy.zip, if you have to proxy image links, could you please not break them?
Fuck you, I want shrimp powers
What super power do we get?
Turn into prawn man?
Hello, little guy. It's the sweetie man coming. Here's a sweetie for you, okay?
My son saw this with me and started giggling harder than I was.
Yes, but with cancer
The power of Cancer
Is this contamination or is Cs-137 used in shrimp farming in some other context? Other than this final flavor preparation, I mean.
