沃尔玛(Walmart)已召回在美国13个州销售的冷冻生虾,原因是联邦卫生官员称这批产品可能存在放射性污染。

美国食品药品监督管理局(U.S. Food and Drug Administration,FDA)要求沃尔玛下架三批惠宜(Great Value)品牌冷冻虾,原因是联邦官员此前曾在货运集装箱和从印度尼西亚进口的面包虾样本中检测到放射性同位素铯-137。

FDA官员表示,这批产品可能会对长期暴露在低剂量铯-137的人们构成“潜在健康威胁”。

FDA官员在一份声明中强调:“如果你近期从沃尔玛购买过符合上述条件的冷冻生虾,请立即丢弃。”

不过,罗格斯大学(Rutgers University)食品安全专家唐纳德·谢弗纳指出,被召回的冷冻虾存在的辐射风险“极低”。

铯-137是核反应产生的副产品,包括核弹、核试验、核反应堆运行及事故都会产生该物质。这种同位素在全球广泛存在,在土壤、食物和空气中均有微量踪迹。

在冷冻面包虾中检测出的铯-137含量远低于FDA的干预标准。但该机构表示,避免接触潜在污染产品可减少长期低剂量辐射暴露带来的健康风险。

目前FDA正在调查涉事货运集装箱和PT Bahari Makmur Sejati(即印尼BMS食品公司(BMS Foods of Indonesia))加工产品中铯-137污染的报告。美国海关与边境保护局(U.S. Customs and Border Protection)官方此前曾向FDA通报称,在发往洛杉矶、休斯敦、迈阿密和佐治亚州萨凡纳港口的集装箱中发现了铯-137。

FDA官员收集了多个产品样本,并在一个冷冻面包虾样本中检测到污染。涉事集装箱及产品已被拒绝进入美国。

但FDA后续调查发现,沃尔玛在首次检测后仍收到了可能受影响的进口产品——这些货柜未触发污染警报。

沃尔玛发言人表示,公司已立即启动召回程序。涉及产品为批号8005540-1、8005538-1和8005539-1的惠宜冷冻生虾,最佳食用截止日期均为2027年3月15日。该批次产品在阿拉巴马、阿肯色、佛罗里达、佐治亚、肯塔基、路易斯安那、密苏里、密西西比、俄亥俄、俄克拉荷马、宾夕法尼亚、得克萨斯和西弗吉尼亚等13个州销售。消费者应丢弃这些产品,或前往沃尔玛任何一家门店退货。(*)

Walmart has recalled frozen, raw shrimp sold in 13 states because federal health officials say it could have potential radioactive contamination.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked Walmart to pull three lots of Great Value brand frozen shrimp from stores after federal officials detected Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in shipping containers and a sample of breaded shrimp imported from Indonesia.

The products could pose a “potential health concern” for people exposed to low levels of Cesium-137 over time, FDA officials said.

“If you have recently purchased raw frozen shrimp from Walmart that matches this description, throw it away,” FDA officials said in a statement.

The risk from the recalled shrimp is “quite low,” said Donald Schaffner, a food safety expert at Rutgers University.

Cesium-137 is a byproduct of nuclear reactions, including nuclear bombs, testing, reactor operations and accidents. It’s widespread around the world, with trace amounts found in the environment, including soil, food and air.

The level detected in the frozen breaded shrimp was far lower than FDA intervention levels. However, the agency said that avoiding potentially contaminated products could reduce exposure to low-level radiation that could lead to health problems over time.

The FDA is investigating reports of Cesium-137 contamination in shipping containers and products processed by P.T. Bahari Makmur Sejati, doing business as BMS Foods of Indonesia. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials alerted FDA that they found Cesium-137 in shipping containers sent to U.S. ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, Georgia.

FDA officials collected several product samples and detected contamination in one sample of frozen breaded shrimp. The shipping containers and products were denied entry into the U.S.

However, the FDA then learned that Walmart had received potentially affected products imported after the first detection, from shipments that did not trigger contamination alerts.

Walmart immediately recalled the products, a company spokesperson said. They include Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp with lot codes 8005540-1, 8005538-1 and 8005539-1, all with best-by dates of March 15, 2027. The shrimp was sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. Consumers should discard the products or return them to any Walmart store for refund.
