*Dr. Doofenshmirtz impression* Wow! If I had a nickel for every time frozen shrimp was recalled for containing cesium-137, I'd have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? RIGHT?
The FDA has announced a recall of about 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp after the products may have been prepared, packed or held under conditions that could have exposed them to very low levels of the radioactive isotope cesium-137. https://t.co/39AAB5ApAA
