Ensure Safe Seafood: Demand Transparency & Stronger Regulation After Radioactive Shrimp Recall

Recently, the FDA issued an urgent warning about possibly radioactive shrimp sold under Walmart’s Great Value brand. These shrimp, imported from Indonesian supplier BMS Foods, tested positive for Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope linked to long-term health risks like cancer.

Although the FDA claims none of the contaminated shrimp entered the U.S. food supply, the truth is alarming: radioactive seafood made it into American grocery stores.

Consumers deserve better. We rely on our food regulators and retailers to protect us — not expose us to invisible dangers. If radioactive shrimp slipped through once, what’s stopping it from happening again?

This is about more than shrimp. It’s about our right to safe food, accountability from corporations, and stronger safeguards on imported products.

We demand:

• Full transparency from Walmart, the FDA, and importers about how this happened and what’s being done to prevent a repeat.
• Stricter testing and inspection standards for imported seafood and other high-risk foods.
• A consumer alert system so the public is immediately informed when contaminated products are detected.
• Independent oversight to ensure regulators and corporations prioritize public health over profits.

Food safety isn’t negotiable. Our families, our children, and our communities deserve protection. Let’s make sure this never happens again.

👉 Sign this petition today to hold Walmart, the FDA, and our lawmakers accountable. Together, we can demand safe seafood and stronger protections for all consumers.
