FDA issues urgent 'do not eat' warning for radioactive shrimp sold at major retailer
Health regulators are urgently warning Americans to check their freezers after a radioactive substance was found in a popular bag of shrimp sold at Walmart. The FDA has told the public to avoid Great Value raw frozen shrimp due to potential contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. Customs and Border Protection agents, who detected the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, or Cs-137, in shipping containers at four major US ports, sounded the alarm to the FDA. The FDA tested the contents of the shipping containers and confirmed on Tuesday that the shrimp, which came from a company in Indonesia called BMS Foods, was contaminated. According to the agency, evidence suggests the shrimp was processed or stored in unsanitary conditions that likely led to the radioactive contamination, making it unsafe for people to eat. The risk of contamination from passing a contaminated shipping container is low, but that risk compounds if a person were to eat radioactive shrimp. Once inside your body, Cs-137 acts as a long-term, internal source of radiation that significantly increases cancer risk. The Do Not Eat warning is issued out of an abundance of caution, the FDA said, adding that testing to date has not confirmed the presence of contamination in any product currently being sold in stores. The contaminated shipping containers entered the ports of Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah, and Miami. The containers included three lots of Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, all with best by dates of March 15, 2027. 'If you have recently purchased raw frozen shrimp from Walmart that matches this description, throw it away,' the FDA said. The FDA also instructed distributors and retailers to throw the product away. Anyone who believes they may have eaten it should consult their doctor. Low-level exposure to Cs-137 is common for everyone due to its persistent presence in the environment from past nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 60s, according to the CDC. The significant health risk, however, comes from highly concentrated sources found in medical and industrial equipment, where the material is sealed within protective shielding to prevent exposure. A serious danger emerges if this shielding is compromised, either accidentally or intentionally, allowing the release of the highly concentrated radioactive material.

More than 5,000lbs of cheese recalled for possible contamination with bacteria
Health officials have issued an urgent recall for a number of cheese products found to be contaminated with a potentially deadly bacteria. The Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op facility in Middlefield, Ohio , is recalling more than two tons of its popular offerings, including its Pepper Jack and White Cheddar cheese, after the bacteria listeria was detected during testing. The FDA warns consumption of food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In more serious cases, it can cause confusion, loss of balance and convulsions if it spreads to the nervous system. No illnesses or deaths have been reported to date in the recall, but officials are urging anyone who believes they were sickened by the cheese to report their illness. People have been urged to throw out the contaminated blocks or to return them to stores for a full refund. Revealing the recall, FDA officials said testing by the Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op had detected the bacteria in its products. The cheesemaker is a family-owned business located about 30 miles east of Cleveland. The co-op was started in 1956 and today there are 90 co-op members who run diary farms, 98 percent of whom are Amish. The recalled products were produced on June 16, 2025, June 24, 2025, and July 16th, and distributed in the state of Ohio between July 14, 2025 and August 7, 2025. The cheeses were manufactured at the Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op plant, which produces a wide range of cheese products sold in its on-site store and for retailers across the country and in Canada. Listeria can contaminate everything from raw vegetables, unpasteurized dairy and deli meats, and is behind about 47 recalls every year. In the US, around 1,600 people get sick from Listeria infections each year, leading to 260 or so deaths. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages , stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Listeria contamination was also behind a recent major nationwide recall involving four other cheese products sold by Wegmans Food Markets. Affected products, supplied by Georgia-based Estancia Holdings, were pulled from stores after the company was notified by their French supplier that three shipments they received may be contaminated with listeria. Then last year, the bacteria was behind a recall of 10million pounds of beef and poultry used in ready-to-eat meals.

Thousands of pounds of cheese recalled by FDA over possible Listeria contamination
The FDA has recalled thousands of pounds of cheese over bacterial contamination concerns. The Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op facility in Ohio is recalling over 5,000 lbs of cheese 'because of potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes,' an FDA statement read Monday. Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. An infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Healthy individuals are still at risk of suffering short-term symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Five different types of cheese were summoned in the FDA recall, including: Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op 100% Grass-Fed Pepper Jack Cheese, 8 oz. packages, 5 Lb. loaves, and 40 Lb. loaves with Lot Code 251661 Copia Collective 100% Grass-Fed Pepper Jack Cheese, 8 oz. packages with Lot Code 251661 Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op Horseradish Flavored Cheese, 8 oz. packages with Lot Code 2524061 Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op Monterey Jack Cheese, 8 oz. packages and 5 lb blocks with Lot Code 251672 and 40 lb. blocks with dates Coded as 7-16-25B Farmers Cheese 8 oz. packages and 5 lb blocks with Lot Code 251672 and 40 lb. blocks with dates Coded as 7-16-25B Customers can find the lot codes on the sides of 8 oz. packets and 5 lb. loaves, and the same applies to date codes on 40 lb. loaves. Middlefield summoned the recall after product testing revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the cheese. Production was quickly suspended while the company investigated the source, which they determined to be 'from environmental contamination that migrated to food-contact areas of the production process.' This meant that bacteria were transferred onto materials that were intended to be in contact with food, such as packaging or the food itself. No illnesses have so far been reported concerning the cheese products. 'The Middlefield Original Cheese Co-Op facility in Middlefield, OH is recalling 246.5 Lbs. of 100% Grass-fed Pepper Jack Cheese, sold in 8 oz. packages, 5 lb. loaves and 40 lb. loaves, 2.5 Lbs. of Horseradish Flavored Cheese, sold in 8 oz. packages, 640 Lbs. of Monterey Jack Cheese sold in 8 oz. packages, 5 lb. loaves and 40 lb. loaves, and 4,544.5 Lbs. of White Cheddar Cheese sold in 40 Lb. loaves.' Customers who purchased the cheese are advised to throw it away or return it to the store where they bought it, where they can also request a refund. Anyone with further questions is asked to contact the Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op General Manager, Nevin Byler, at 440-632-5567, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM EST.
