Beaver Street Fisheries in Jax joins FDA shrimp recall

Beaver Street Fisheries in Jacksonville is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Great Value Frozen Raw Shrimp as a precautionary measure after a Food and Drug Administration advisory about possible radioactive contamination. 

The recall is specifically the Great Value EZ-Peel and Deveined Tail-On 21- to 25-Per Pound frozen shrimp.

The advisory indicates that the frozen shrimp was distributed to Walmart stores in Florida, Georgia and 11 other states from July 28 through Aug. 7. 

At this time, no product in stores has tested positive for the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, the FDA says. But the shrimp may have been prepared, packed or kept under insanitary conditions where it may have become contaminated, the agency says.

Consumers who bought the recalled shrimp should not consume it and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
