Living in the USA in 2025 is like that movie Cabin in the Woods. Basically every conceivable way for the country to end is happening simultaneously, all at once, and even then nobody bet on the radioactive shrimp, not even the maintenance crew. Granted, the reason they didn’t bet on the shrimp is because they all got furloughed by DOGE back in February.
There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it. Oh and cesium shrimp. But really, that’s basically it.
The FDA put out a warning. Well clearly there’s another agency that should abolished and be left up to the states.
/s.
The FDA said it is working with distributors and retailers that received the shrimp from BMS Foods “to recommend that firms conduct a recall,” according to the press release.
If the FDA is confident enough to warn us about it, why aren’t they forcing a recall?
Has it occurred to you that some people may like eating radioactive shrimp? They should be free to do so!
Honestly, I’m upset at these Big Government Nanny State tactics, trying to scare me into not eating the radioactive shrimp which I’ve heard are actually healthier than regular shrimp.
Can we get DOGE to investigate these guys? Who is bankrolling them to spread misinformation?
Mmm… Spongy jaw…
I fully support any people who want to eat radioactive shrimp to be allowed to eat radioactive shrimp
Do you support their radioactive poop entering the municipal water treatment plant?
The more the merrier.
I assume that people who eat at Walmart eat way wose things on the regular
Radioactive shrimp cured my autism. How dare the LIBERALs try to take away our Freedom Foods! Give me seafood sovereignty or give me death!
Says the EPA limit is 1200Bq/kg, and the shrimp are at 68Bq/kg, so its nowhere near the limit. The way I see it I can eat 17.6kg or 38.8lbs of that shrimp before it hits that limit, and I know those limits are conservative for safety reasons, so I can exceed that without too much concern.
Based on some other limits from the NRC and some very rough math I would be willing to eat up to 98000 pounds of that per year. I’ll play it safe and take about 2000 pounds of free shrimp please.
Why is this even an issue in that case, then?
Makes for a good headline. Radiation is the thing few people understand and most people fear.
I suppose the possibility exists that the number stated is what was found, but if the shrimp was only spot checked then contamination could exist in higher concentrations. Really depends on how it got contaminated which they dont say.
Significantly less than you get from eating one banana.
That would require taking responsibility.
I guess they found out when they saw a couple glow in the shark :3
The seafood is radioactive?
@lemmy.zip, if you have to proxy image links, could you please not break them?
The FDA still exists?
For now

“Radioactive shrimp from Walmart” sounds like good sci-fi.
Joking aside, Walmart is a prolific human rights abuser. People in not only USA, but Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and China have been reported to have intensive labor exploitation and abuse.
Forced labor, wage theft, sexual harassment, and sweatshop conditions with extremely low pay and long hours are among reports. Also, forced prison labor in Southeast Asia linked to their suppliers, allegations involving Uyghur forced labor in China, … just … ugh.
Well, you can’t make obscenely large profits with ever-increasing rates of increase without those things
Future canoe will take his chances. Is it green like the chicken?
He has been eating radioactive chicken for years so he is probably immunized
RFK Jr: no guys it’s cool, it’ll make you healthy. It’ll replace vaccines. It’s all natural.
I have seasoned these shrimp personally. They are very high in radiation, just like the healthy sun that bring us all life.
They’re trying to keep all the shrimp powers to themselves
Imagine punching so fast that you create a sonic boom.
They are right to be worried
Please God let them add radioactive shrimp to the next Fallout game.
the next Fallout game.
Next one might not be a game.
💀💀💀💀
Start collecting your bottle caps now!
Already have two of them in FO4. Mirelurk hunters and Fogcrawlers.
Well the Mirelurks already exist
I could swear I’d run across some packaged prawns in game, but i may be hallucinating that. Weird though, as I can even visualize the packaging. I did find this when searching though from a fallout game that was cancelled:
But it says “Great Value” on the package. Which is it?
they do have a great value, but in röntgens
AS THE LEGENDS FORETOLD, THE AGE OF SHRIMP-MAN IS NIGH.
WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND GENERAL APPEARANCE OF A MAN, AND THE COLOUR AND EXOSKELETON OF A SHRIMP, NO EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS KMGHTY ENOUGH TO STOP SHRIMP MAN.
Music…
Shrimp man!
Shrimp man.Shrimp maaaan!
Yes, only eat the shrimp loaded with agricultural runoff and microplastics
As god intended
Don’t forget the antibiotics.
