Never Mind That Yellow Snow

…watch out for the radioactive shrimp instead:

The Food and Drug Administration is warning U.S. consumers not to eat certain frozen shrimp products sold at Walmart over concerns they contain radioactive isotope Cesium-137.

In a press release Tuesday, the FDA said they were investigating reports of Cs-137 contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp being imported by Indonesian company BMS Foods after it was detected by customs officers at four US ports.

Now to be sure, this is being done in an excess of caution:  there’s no actual proof that WallyWorld sold any radioactive shrimp, and the levels are well below what the FDA considers as harmful.

But if you’ve got that big shrimp boil scheduled for the weekend family reunion and you bought the stuff from Sam’s Club or its cousin, you may want to consider replacing it from somewhere else.

  1. Did they just say that nuclear waste was smuggled in at four different ports inside shipping containers holding shrimp?

      1. Perfect cover. Use a shipment route that typically does not have radioactive material in it. Yet another downside to relying so much on imports.

        I know you can’t make everything domestically, and sometimes foreign products are great, but to rely so much on far away foreign lands for so much of the food supply is plain stupid as fuck.

        Who is that guy with the orange hair that told us something about needing to make more things in the USA? I think he might have been elected recently.
        Maybe it’s time some of the libtards and others in this country wake the fuck up and work with those who want to make our country safer instead of go against everything someone says because they have an R next to their name instead of a D, cuz orange man bad according to the libtard fools.

    1. The FDA couldn’t find a hooker in a whore house. You think they will really ever find where this radioactive exposure came from?

      The government hires some of the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet for many government jobs.

  2. I have to say, as a lifelong comic book fan, I have a very strong urge to eat shrimp right now.
    Shrimp-Man?
    OK, maybe not.

    1. Save the shrimp for Halloween. Cover them in chocolate and give them out to the kids who thought it was cool to huff paint and eat tide pods.

      # New Tik Tok trend – eat Shrimp from Walmart and glow in the dark!

  3. I have some questions on this:

    – How the fuck did this shrimp get exposed to nuclear / radioactive material? What REALLY happened? Did someone fuck up? Was this a terroristic act?

    – When did the powers that be find out about this radioactive shelf? After it was already fished, processed, packaged, shipped, trucked to a local store and uncased and put on the shelf AND was out for sale for a while and many of the item sold?

    “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help” I think you maybe got some glow in the dark shrimp. Don’t eat them.

    TOSS RADIOACTIVE SHRIMP IN THE GARBAGE. That is the BEST way to dispose of RADIOACTIVE shrimp.

  4. What’s the critical mass of Cs-137 contaminated shrimp? I’m guessing it’s in the thousands of pounds, so let’s scoop that stuff up into cement barrels and off to the Harry Reid Memorial Nuclear Waste Dump at Yucca Mountain. (I know Obama shut it down before it could open, but Trump can reopen it and name it after Reid or Obama, or Hilary, or… And put a high tariff on radioactive shrimp from Indonesia!)

    1. I think the Shrimp should be sent to the hotels where the illegal immigrants in the USA are staying in the sanctuary cities. Why let them go hungry? Feed them the radio active shrimp.

    1. If next week Wally World has a large supply and sale price on dosimeters then we are all going to know the fuckers could be in on this bullshit…

      Buy the radio active shrimp, DO NOT RETURN IT TO THE STORE. We already have your money and that shit is dangerous.

      Oh, hey, special in the electronics section, digital dosimeters

  5. If you have prostate cancer this just might be your weekend…go ahead and eat the shrimp.
