Nuclear context: The FDA's derived intervention level for Cs-137 contamination is 1,200 Bq/kg. Laboratory testing confirmed that the BMS shrimp contained an activity concentration significantly below figure: 68.48 Bq/kg +/− 8.25 Bq/k. To put that number further into context, 68 Bq/kg is similar to the activity concentration in bananas.

The key difference is that the radioactivity in bananas comes from naturally occurring potassium-40, while Cs-137 is a manmade byproduct of nuclear fission. While this level of radiation is not harmful to humans, the discovery triggered a response because it is unusual to see this concentration of Cs-137 in shrimp.

Cs-137 is detectable in shrimp originating from the Pacific Ocean due to past nuclear testing and accidents, but the routine detection levels are roughly 100 times lower than the BMS shrimp.
