After massive shrimp recalls, the FDA finds radioactive contamination in spices too

After massive shrimp recalls, the FDA finds radioactive contamination in spices too

Federal regulators have detected possible radioactive contamination in a second food product sent to the U.S. from Indonesia, even as recalls of potentially tainted shrimp continue to grow. The discovery adds to questions about the source of the unusual problem.U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials last week blocked import of all spices from PT Natural Java Spice of Indonesia after federal inspectors detected cesium 137 in a shipment of cloves sent to California.That follows the import alert imposed in August on the company PT Bahari Makmuri Sejati, or BMS foods, which sends millions of pounds of shrimp to the U.S. each year.Recalls13 hours agoListeria fears lead to nationwide recall of some pre-made Walmart mealsRecallsSep 23Frozen shrimp sold at Kroger, other retailers, recalled for potential health risksHere’s what you need to know about potential cesium 137 contamination:What is cesium 137?Cesium 137 is a radioactive isotope created as a byproduct of nuclear reactions, including nuclear bombs, testing, reactor operations and accidents. It’s widespread around the world, with trace amounts found in the environment, including soil, food and air.What have U.S. officials found?U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials detected cesium 137 in shipping containers of shrimp sent by PT Bahari Makmur Sejati to several U.S. ports. CBP officials flagged the potential contamination to the FDA, which tested samples of the shrimp and detected cesium 137 in one sample of breaded shrimp.The company has sent about 84 million pounds (38 million kilograms) of shrimp to U.S. ports this year, according to data from Import Genius, a trade data analysis company. It supplies about 6% of foreign shrimp imported in the U.S.This month, FDA officials detected cesium 137 in one sample of cloves exported by PT Natural Java Spice, which sends spices to the U.S. and other countries. Records show the company sent about 440,000 pounds ( 200,000 kilograms) of cloves to the U.S. this year.What are the health risks?No food that triggered alerts or tested positive has been released for sale in the U.S., FDA officials emphasized.But hundreds of thousands of packages of imported frozen shrimp sold at Kroger and other grocery stores across the U.S. have been recalled because they may have been manufactured under conditions that allowed them to be contaminated, the agency said.Although the risk appears to be small, the foods could pose a “potential health concern” for people exposed to low levels of cesium 137 over time.The levels of contamination detected are far below the level that could trigger the need for health protections, but long-term exposure could raise the risk of certain cancers.Where did the contamination come from?It’s not clear whether there’s a common source of contamination for the shrimp and the spices. FDA and CBP officials said their investigations are continuing. The two processing facilities appear to be about 500 miles (800 kilometers) apart in Indonesia.Contaminated scrap metal or melted metal at an industrial site near the shrimp processing plant in Indonesia may be the source of the radioactive material, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Nuclear regulators in Indonesia said they detected the radioactive isotope at the site outside Jakarta.It’s possible that that type of contamination could come from recycling old medical equipment that contained cesium 137, according to Steve Biegalski, a nuclear medicine expert at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Contaminated transport containers or shipping methods, such as trucks, boats or shared materials could also be a source, he said.What should consumers do?For now, consumers should avoid eating or serving shrimp recalled for possible cesium 137 contamination, the FDA said.

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' to return Tuesday, Disney announces

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, which Disney suspended following the host’s comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination, will return to ABC on Tuesday, the company announced.Disney released the following statement: “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”This is a developing story

U.S. rivers are running hot. A new analysis of nearly 1,500 river locations over more than 40 years found that the frequency, intensity and duration of heat waves is increasing in streams across the country, posing a threat to many species that are adapted to cooler temperatures.“The trend of river heat waves is actually increasing faster than the air heat waves. So, that’s one thing that is very surprising,” said Li Li, a professor of environmental engineering at Penn State University and an author of the study. The new analysis, which was published in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first in-depth study of riverine heat waves, which are defined as five straight days of high temperatures in comparison to seasonal averages. The authors found that human-caused climate change is the primary driver of the trend, as snowpack dwindles and streams flow more slowly. Other human factors also affect the trend. Dams slow the flow of water downstream. Buildings and pavement absorb heat that warms the air and then the water.Scientists expect that species that rely on cold water, including salmon and trout, will increasingly struggle as streams heat up. Li said it will be important to document fish kills to see if and what trends are emerging. Heat decreases the amount of dissolved oxygen in water. Meanwhile, cold-water species often see their metabolism rise in warmer waters, meaning there’s less oxygen available.The findings could inform how to manage watersheds and whether changes to irrigation or dam releases could help species hang on during hot weather. “The way that we use water, the way we manage those resources can have an impact on heat waves,” said Jonathan Walter, a research scientist at UC Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, who was not involved in this research. “Assuming adequate amounts of water in a reservoir, we might be able to release water in such a way that downstream temperatures would be somewhat cooled and prevent these hot and stressful temperatures.” climate changeSep 8Americans are consuming more sugar as the world gets hotter, study findsExtreme WeatherJul 9U.S. faces more frequent extreme weather, but attitudes and actions aren't matchingEnvironmentMay 24As oceans warm, clownfish shrink their bodies to survive heat wavesHeat waves have been studied extensively in oceans and lakes, but until now researchers only had limited information on how higher temperatures were affecting streams. Satellite data drives research of heat in oceans and lakes. Studying river temperatures is more difficult because it’s reliant on stream-gauge sensors that are often in and out of service, leaving data gaps that can be hard to parse. For the new study, the researchers collected data from 1,471 United States Geological Survey stream monitoring sites from 1980 to 2022. Thedataallowed the researchers to assess changes in streams nationwide. They found that riverine heat waves in 2022 were happening more often than in 1980 — with an average of 1.8 additional heat wave events taking place per year. The heat waves were also more intense, with temperatures during heat events about .8 degrees Fahrenheit higher, on average, in 2022 in comparison to 1980. Heat wave events lasted more than three days longer than in the past. Li said the additional heat is causing about 12 more days of heat stress, on average, for species that need cold water. The study’s authors used 59 degrees F as its threshold for heat stress because some species, like bull trout, struggle to survive at about that marker.“When we think about water, there’s a lot more attention about what quantity, because we can see it,” Li said. “We’re hoping this kind of study will increase the public awareness of the water quality issue related to climate change.”
