Frozen Raw Shrimp

What the company announced

December 19, 2025, Direct Source Seafood LLC, Bellevue, WA, is recalling approximately 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp, imported from Indonesia, sold under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brands because they may have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with cesium-137 (Cs-137).

Cs-137 is a man-made radioisotope of cesium. Traces of Cs-137 are widespread and can be present in the environment at background levels, and at higher levels in water or foods grown, raised, or produced in areas with environmental contamination. The primary health effect of concern following longer term, repeated low dose exposure (e.g., through consumption of contaminated food or water over time) is an elevated risk of cancer, resulting from damage to DNA within living cells of the body.

The recalled frozen raw shrimp products are as follows, as shown in the images further below:

  • Retailer: Price Chopper · Brand: Market 32 · Product Size: 1-lb bags · UPC Code: 0 41735 01358 3 · Best By Date: 04/22/27, 04/23/27, 04/24/27, 04/26/27 or 04/27/27 · Store Locations: CT, MA, NH, NY, PA, and VT · Dates of Sale: After July 11, 2025
  • Retailer: Jewel-Osco Albertsons Safeway Lucky Supermarket · Brand: Waterfront Bistro · Product Size: 2-lb bags · UPC Code: 021130 13224-9 · Best By Date: APR 25, 2027 or APR 26, 2027 · Store Locations: CO, IA, ID, IL, IN, MT, ND, NV, OR, UT, and WY · Dates of Sale: On or after June 30,2025

The FDA is actively investigating reports of Cs-137 contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products manufactured in Indonesia by PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (doing business as BMS Foods). As noted in the FDA statement issued on 10/7/25: “At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. marketplace.”

No illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers who have purchased affected shrimp should not consume the product and should dispose of or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions may contact the company at 425-455-2291 Monday-Friday, 8am-5 pm PST.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

What to do about Food safety

Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro — The notice above sets out the specific concern. Whatever the cause, the practical answer with food is the same: stop eating it and claim the refund.

  1. Stop eating it and check the codes on your pack against the identifiers listed on this page.
  2. Wash anything it touched, and clean the shelf it was stored on if the pack has leaked.
  3. Check the freezer and pantry for other packs from the same codes.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased affected shrimp should not consume the product and should dispose of or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
