The FDA is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137.
Has anyone an idea where this contamination comes from? With a half-life of Cs-137 of 30 years, the pretty mild dosage and no knowledge of how long those shrimp were on ice, there are a lot of possible sources without info about the amount of Barium contained or am i wrong?
I know that, but there are a few things that might have caused this. Mushrooms and boar meat in some areas in Germany are still radioactive from chernobyl

The shorter the half-life, the more radiation the element is emitting. 30 years is quite short.
