The FDA’s radioactive shrimp recall now includes more brands: See the full list of impacted products

Southwind Foods has issued a voluntary recall of frozen shrimp products due to potential radioactive contamination, according to the company and an alert issued Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

It follows an earlier warning on Tuesday about Cesium-137 (Cs-137) detection in five different shrimp products processed by an Indonesia-based supplier called BMS Foods. So, have you bought frozen shrimp lately? Here’s everything you need to know about the recalls. 

Which brands have been impacted by the recall?

The initial recall was for Great Value frozen shrimp sold at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia. 

There were three lots of Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp recalled: 

• Lot code: 8005540-1, Best by March 15, 2027
• Lot code: 8005538-1, Best by March 15, 2027
• Lot code: 8005539-1, Best by March 15, 2027

They were sold between July 17 and August 8, 2025. The FDA recommends throwing away any shrimp you’ve bought that matches this criteria. 

The more recent recall is for five brands from California-based Southwind Foods: Sand Bar, Arctic Shores, Best Yet, Great American, and First Street.

These products were distributed between July 17 and August 8, 2025, to a range of retailers, distributors, and wholesalers in Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Washington state.

The recall includes 13 lots. You can find full lot numbers and product images on the Southwind Foods website.

Again, these items are at risk of containing Cs-137. No illness have been reported so far due to the product. 

The FDA says it “will continue working with industry to trace all implicated products” to “gather as much information about them as possible and take action as appropriate.”
