Had to dig a bit deeper to find out where it all came from.

Imported from…..

(Drum roll please)

Indonesia

You are right, this doesn’t happen in normal countries.

We need to expand operations of The Bubba Shrimp Company and similar independent US producers

Well, that's not so bad. At least the shrimp were dead.

One guess I've heard is that the shrimp is actually Chinese. The ship through Indonesia to avoid restrictions.

kdahm,

Savannah River isn't that far from me. I'm advised however that the wasps had their dosimeters on at all times.
