# Major Recall Alert: Raw Frozen Easy Peel White Shrimp Jumbo size 16/20 Recalled Due to Potential Cesium-137 (Cs-137) Contamination

Customers across the U.S. should take immediate action, as **Sea Port Products Corp** has announced a voluntary recall of its **Raw Frozen Easy Peel White Shrimp Jumbo size 16/20** due to possible contamination with **Cesium-137 (Cs-137)**. This precautionary measure is necessary to protect consumers from potential health risks associated with this radioactive isotope.

## Why This Recall is Important

**Cesium-137 (Cs-137)** is a man-made radioactive element that can pose significant health risks when ingested over time. While traces of Cs-137 exist naturally in the environment, higher concentrations, such as those found in contaminated food products, may increase the risk of illnesses like **cancer** due to DNA damage from radioactive exposure.

The health effects of Cs-137 are most concerning when individuals are exposed to it over the long term through repeated consumption of contaminated food. Although no illnesses have been reported so far, the **FDA** is working diligently to investigate the extent of this contamination to prevent exposure from occurring.

This recall affects shrimp distributed to **small retailers** in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Montana, Oregon, Washington State, and American Samoa. If you purchased these frozen shrimp, it’s crucial to take immediate steps to protect yourself and your loved ones.
