#3 "...Walmart ~~allegedly~~ received ~~potentially~~ contaminated raw frozen shrimp imported after the date of first detection "

Now the question is.
How many tons are already in nationwide store freezers, and/or sold, before shipments were halted?

#9 Four sides has this sleazy trapezium:
Blasé Indonesians, ["Jeez... cesium?"]
Poor mortified Japs,

And, in silent all-caps... ["IS CHINESIUM."]
[Walmart Geiger counter goes crazy]

Okay, I guess that's five.

#11 A source leak during Food Irradiation might cause contamination.
But!!!! That raises a very serious processing safety issue question.

How was it missed at the packaging location?

REF:
Many foods are irradiated to kill bacteria and extend via shelf live. See WiKi Food Irradiation which states Cs-137 is one of several Isotopes used.
