Company Announcement
October 17, 2025, AquaStar (USA) Corp of Seattle, WA is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of frozen shrimp imported from Indonesia because they may have been prepared, packed, or held under conditions whereby they may have become exposed to very low levels of cesium-137 (Cs-137).
None of the aforementioned or below listed product ever tested positive for Cs-137.
No illnesses have been reported to date and this recall is only being issued out of a preponderance of caution.
This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
