The FDA Is Warning People Not To Eat Possibly Radioactive Shrimp, And Everyone's Making Jokes About It
If you love eating shrimp, you might want to take a seat for what I'm about to tell you.
ABC News reports that the FDA is warning the general American public not to eat, sell, or serve certain types of Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart — because it may be radioactive. Yes, really.
How did we get here? Well, according to an FDA press release, the shrimp in question "appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern." Cs-137, if you're not a dang chemist, is short for Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.
