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."

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.

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?#Shrimp #RadioactiveShrimp #Walmart #FDARecall #USNews #Health #Science
