Origin-Story Seafood?! FDA Probes ‘Radioactive’ Walmart Shrimp in 13 States—Are We About To Meet SHRIMP MAN?!


Picture this: you toss some Great Value shrimp into the skillet and the room goes cinematic—dramatic lighting, soaring strings, and boom… the birth of SHRIMP MAN. Fun comic-book daydreams aside, here’s the real-life plot twist: the FDA is investigating possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart across 13 states and is urging the public not to eat it while they sort out the facts. No capes required—just caution. Radiation isn’t inherently sci-fi (even bananas have trace amounts), but abnormal contamination is a different story, and that’s why the agency is moving fast. So what now? If you bought the product, don’t chow down. Keep the packaging, watch for FDA updates, or return it to the store. This isn’t about panic—it’s about smart, temporary distance between you and a questionable crustacean. Consider it your B‑movie cliffhanger: will this saga end with a glow-up or a recall? Until the next episode drops, save the origin story for the big screen and let the professionals do the testing. If your dinner needs a superpower, make it “peace of mind.”
