Beware the radioactive Walmart shrimp

You might not be aware of the FDA’s warning that Walmart’s house brand of raw frozen shrimp might be contaminated with the radioactive isotope cesium-137, a byproduct of uranium-235 fission, which typically happens in nuclear reactors or nuclear detonations. If you enjoy the Fallout games and TV series, we’re one step closer to that world!

You can find out more in this article, but if you’d rather get to the practical info, I’ve posted it below:
