The FDA put out a warning. Well clearly there's another agency that should abolished and be left up to the states.

There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. Oh and cesium shrimp. But really, that's basically it.
Living in the USA in 2025 is like that movie Cabin in the Woods. Basically every conceivable way for the country to end is happening simultaneously, all at once, and even then nobody bet on the radioactive shrimp, not even the maintenance crew. Granted, the reason they didn't bet on the shrimp is because they all got furloughed by DOGE back in February.
The seafood is radioactive?
@lemmy.zip, if you have to proxy image links, could you please not break them?
I guess they found out when they saw a couple glow in the shark :3
So it's actually mirelurk meat.
Future canoe will take his chances. Is it green like the chicken?
He has been eating radioactive chicken for years so he is probably immunized
They're trying to keep all the shrimp powers to themselves
Imagine punching so fast that you create a sonic boom.
They are right to be worried
This is perfect for my new seafood diet. It is so simple, I cesium food, I eat ze yum food.
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?
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.
RFK Jr: no guys it’s cool, it’ll make you healthy. It’ll replace vaccines. It’s all natural.
I have seasoned these shrimp personally. They are very high in radiation, just like the healthy sun that bring us all life.
But it says "Great Value" on the package. Which is it?
they do have a great value, but in röntgens
"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.
Has anyone an idea where this contamination comes from? With a half-life of Cs-137 of 30 years, the pretty mild dosage and no knowledge of how long those shrimp were on ice, there are a lot of possible sources without info about the amount of Barium contained or am i wrong?
The shorter the half-life, the more radiation the element is emitting. 30 years is quite short.
I know that, but there are a few things that might have caused this. Mushrooms and boar meat in some areas in Germany are still radioactive from chernobyl
Please God let them add radioactive shrimp to the next Fallout game.
Already have two of them in FO4. Mirelurk hunters and Fogcrawlers.
AS THE LEGENDS FORETOLD, THE AGE OF SHRIMP-MAN IS NIGH.
WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND GENERAL APPEARANCE OF A MAN, AND THE COLOUR AND EXOSKELETON OF A SHRIMP, NO EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS KMGHTY ENOUGH TO STOP SHRIMP MAN.
~~Radioactive~~ Spicy shrimp
Fuck you, I want shrimp powers
especially if it's this supershrimp, you know, the one with 18 eyes ? strikes its claws at 20% the speed of light ? creating a vacuum fronted by a blinding plasma bubble, turning everything in its vicinity into shrimp-flavoured ash ?? ring a bell ??
Fuck that, go Pistol shrimp. It can clap it's claw so hard it sending out a blinding jet of plasma, and a directed shockwave which can stun nearby fish. Pistol shrimp make enough noise that nuclear submarines use them to hide from passive sonar.
holy shit, it's my new favourite
But wait, there's more!
You've seen the Peacock Mantish shrimp with his rock em sock em bopper of doom, but are you ready for Spear Mantis Shrimp, which have a motherfucking HARPOON instead of bashers?!
next you're going to tell me the harpoon is supersonic ??
It doesn't need to be.
Paging future_canoe for a new challenge
Yes, only eat the shrimp loaded with agricultural runoff and microplastics
This wasn't on my vegan bingo sheet.
Why couldn't they just put the lot codes in numerical order!?
