Due to the stringent rules of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), you can be assured that most foods sold at the grocery store are safe to eat. However, occasionally, food gets contaminated, mislabeled, or has faulty packaging, posing a risk to consumers. Luckily, the FDA is prompt to address these situations. Here are 7 food recalls you need to check in your home.
Lots of Shrimp Products
Aqua Star
The FDA recently announced that AquaStar (USA) Corp of Seattle has recalled about 85,000 bags of shrimp products sold at major grocery chains nationwide due to potential contamination with cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. Various products were impacted, including raw and cooked shrimp products and skewers. No illnesses have been reported to date, but the contamination poses potential long-term cancer risks through repeated exposure. The questionable shrimp was sold between June 12, 2025, and September 17, 2025, at several major stores, including Food 4 Less, Foodsco, Fred Meyer, Ralph’s, Kroger, and Mariano’s, and distributed in 31 states.
