More packages of frozen shrimp potentially affected by radioactive contamination have been recalled.

More packages of frozen shrimp potentially affected by radioactive contamination have been recalled, federal officials said Thursday.

California-based Southwind Foods recalled frozen shrimp sold under the brands Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American and First Street. The bagged products were distributed between July 17 and Aug. 8 to stores and wholesalers in nine states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Washington state.

The products have the potential to be contaminated with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope that is a byproduct of nuclear reactions.

    So this is how we persue larger and larger unit sized shrimp?

    But seriously, how the fuck?

    I’m trying to imagine the factory that both prepares shrimp and handles nuclear waste… it just does not make sense…
