AquaStar Voluntarily Recalls More Shrimp Due to Cesium-137 Concerns
By Josh Beckerman
Seattle-based AquaStar (USA) Corp said it is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of frozen shrimp imported from Indonesia due to possible exposure to very low levels of cesium-137.
AquaStar and other companies have issued recalls since August. The Food and Drug Administration has investigated reports of contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in shrimp products processed by Indonesia-based PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, doing business as BMS Foods.
AquaStar said none of the recalled items tested positive and no illnesses have been reported to date. The products are sold under brands including C&S Wholesale's Best Yet, AquaStar, Publix and the Albertsons brand Waterfront Bistro.
California-based Southwind Foods is one of the companies that previously recalled shrimp. Recalls have included Kroger-branded shrimp and Walmart's Great Value brand.
