Ah, let's see how the radioactive shrimp are doing today...

ABC News: Imports contaminated with radioactive isotope likely to continue for foreseeable future: US bulletin

The contamination is also likely to spread beyond shrimp, the bulletin said.

January 16, 2026, 10:03 AM

"Due to the high number of factories and wide variety of goods produced at facilities in the area of the contamination, additional commodities from Indonesia will almost certainly test positive for Cs-137 in the coming weeks and months," the bulletin said. "While improbable, we cannot rule out the potential that Cs-137 contaminated goods will arrive in the United States via tourism or passenger travel."

More details on exactly whose shoes were radioactive in this article (Nike, lol... no mention in the US press, for the most part).

Bloomberg: Radioactive shrimp and sneakers: The global trail leading to Indonesia

"...But in July, inspectors in Los Angeles - then other ports on either side of the US - discovered something strange: shipments of prawns, and Nike branded sneakers, emitting faint traces of man-made radiation. ...

Minuscule particles of the isotope found their way into more than 20 factories, including shrimp being packed into refrigerated containers by one of Indonesia’s largest seafood exporters and at a big factory producing shoes for brands including Nike and Adidas."

Reuters: Indonesia's shrimp industry suffers after radioactive case, association says (Oct 3, 2025)

"Indonesia's shrimp industry suffered a 30-35% drop in processing absorption after a radioactive contamination was detected in a batch of shrimp shipped to the U.S. in August, the country's shrimp farmers' association said on Friday.....Indonesia is the world's fifth largest shrimp exporter, accounting for 6% of global exports. About two-thirds of its exports go to the United States....While the radioactive finding was in just one shrimp consignment from one company, PT Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS), U.S. and other foreign buyers are now waiting to determine whether all shrimp from Indonesia is safe, said Andi Tamsil, the head of Indonesia's shrimp farmers' association."

Sounds like a lot of people aren't familiar with the problem of Cesium-137 floating around willy nilly, and haven't heard of the Goiânia Brazil incident.

The characteristic signature of Cs 137 appears to be gamma-ray photons at an energy of 660 kilo-electron-volts (keV).

Side effects of exposure -- see B. Banner, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Funny that they never recalled shrimp for contamination with oil dispersant of undisclosed composition after the Deep Water Horizon disaster.
#radioactiveshrimp

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has expanded its warning about radioactive shrimp, recalling two more brands due to possible contamination with Cesium-137. Nearly 18,000 bags of frozen Kroger Mercado Cooked Medium Peeled Tail-Off Shrimp and 26,460 packages of cocktail shrimp, both from Seattle-based Aquastar Corp, were recalled , in addition to the Walmart Great Value shrimp and frozen shrimp that the agency had previously alerted about. Here's more from @abc.

The news about the #RadioactiveShrimp made me laugh because, OF COURSE there would be radioactive shrimp amongst all the other batshit insane things happening in 2025. I mean, why not?

Um, so, how about those radioactive shellfish? Phil Broughton, a health physicist, speculates for his Funranium Labs blog about what led to an FDA recall notice for shrimp sold at Walmart that may have been contaminated with Cesium-137. "Whether you think they did a good job communicating on any given recall is always up to debate. But this begs the next set of questions," he writes:

- How did they know there was contamination?
- How much contamination was there?
- Was it of the shrimp itself or just packaging or both?
- How did it get to market without getting stopped first?
