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.

frozen breaded shrimp imported by BMS Foods of Indonesia

Not a country with nuclear reactors. Could be nice if they could trace where they were fishing it, because right now, with lack of info, every sea food from Asia, perhaps Pacific or Oceans, is suspect.
