Stricter Monitoring !! “Beware of Cs-137: Radioactive Findings in Spices & Mitigation Strategies”
The first officially recorded finding of radioactive Cs-137 in Indonesian food products occurred in August 2025, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected the presence of radioactive isotope Cesium-137 in frozen breaded shrimp imported from Indonesia. The issue later expanded to spice commodities, after the FDA halted imports of Indonesian cloves following the detection of Cs-137 traces in one of the tested samples.
