Don't eat the radioactive shrimp!

from Condensed Soup · host Lulu Picart

Intro: I'm at Podcast Movement, and I'm enamored with some of the tech. Our disco and conference eras are combining in a very clever way.  The FDA has issued a warning about specific lots of Great Value frozen shrimp sold at Walmart that may be contaminated with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. While no contaminated shrimp has entered the U.S. food supply, a recall is in motion. Check the FDA recall notice (linked below) for lot numbers and safety tips. And let's chat about what shrimp you should be eating, highlighting sustainable seafood choices like U.S. wild-caught whiteleg shrimp and ASC- or MSC-certified farmed varieties.
