Aquastar Corp. recalls frozen shrimp over possible cesium-137 contamination; no illnesses reported, but long-term risk exists.

Aquastar Corp. is recalling frozen raw shrimp sold under brands like AquaStar, Publix, Best Yet, and Waterfront Bistro due to potential cesium-137 contamination from an Indonesian supplier. The recall, expanding on an earlier August action, affects retailers across multiple states and is precautionary, as no tested samples showed detectable levels. The FDA confirms no illnesses have been reported, and while the radiation level is below safety thresholds, long-term exposure may increase cancer risk. Consumers should avoid the product, return it for a refund, or dispose of it. The source of contamination is under investigation.
