John Kennedy Sounds Alarm About Radioactive Shrimp That 'Could Turn You Into the Alien'

During a congressional hearing Wednesday, Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy warned legislators about radioactive shrimp that “could turn you into the ‘Alien.'”

In August, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public release advising Americans not to eat, sell or serve certain shrimp imported from an Indonesian exporter called PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati. During the hearing on 2026 defense programs and policy legislation, Kennedy expressed his concerns about foreign frozen shrimp being imported following the FDA recall.

“Mr. President, this is a photograph of the alien from the movie ‘Alien,'” Kennedy said. “This is what you could end up looking like if you eat some of the raw, frozen shrimp being sent to the United States by other countries. Now let me tell you what I’m talking about. In late August, the FDA found that raw, frozen shrimp from Indonesia was being sold in Walmart, specifically in Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia. It was being sold under the Walmart label called the Great Value Label.”
