Radioactive Shrimp Recall

This popped up in my news feed.

Radioactive Shrimp recall.

I checked mine and it’s not waterfront, it’s Firststreet, not sure where I bought it from, maybe Albertson’s. I googled and it’s from Smart & Final.
But I bought shrimp from Albertson’s before. Maybe they were already consumed.

Oh no, I went to my other fridge to get my shrimp and the bag says Waterfront, I thought I have 2 bags form First Street. I may have to check with Smart and Final to see if they carry this brand or not. Maybe I bought it from Albertson’s, not sure if I have the receipt anymore.
The above article says to throw the bag out.

Sad to toss food through a lack of diligence on the producers part but happens.

They are selling it as cooked shrimp at Albertsons, I just saw the weekly ad, I might call the manager to see if I get a refund, otherwise, I might use it as fertilizer, fish fertilizer.

Seems to happen a fair bit tho.

The shrimp are at Safeway too - bought once or twice but didn't care for the additives and switched to sprouts or similar

Do they light up in the dark?
Maybe to be used as christmas decoration?

You should get a refund. I'm pretty sure all stores will refund. I've taken recalled items back to Sam's (salmonella charcuterie and carrots ) and received refunds.

I don’t have a receipt anymore, but I will call them ahead to ask.

Not sure about using it as fertilizer. The affected shrimp would've likely have eaten, or lived in, the polluted place. You'll end up eating some too if used as fertilizer but not likely as much as eating the shrimp. My 2 cents FWIW...

All the stores keep a record of everything everyone buys. They're able to look it up easily if you remember the date plus it's their store brand - they'll know about the recall fer shure. Lotta recalled shrimp there

No not really, but less than 2 months.
