>>>Stories about how food exported from Japan may be contaminated by radiation is scaring people. It is scaring people enough that Australia is now investigating the risk of importing food items from Japan. The EU is also being urged to conduct radiation testing for food imports from Japan. The Health Ministry of Malaysia is reportedly now requiring Japanese export food products to have certificates issued by recognized authorities in the country that declare the products safe from radioactivity.Thailand's government is focusing on Japanese imports of meat, milk, fish and seaweed. A radiation physicist from the Office of Atoms for Peace has told CNN the agency will work with Thailand's Health Ministry to do random checks of imported food from Japan. On Tuesday, India also ordered radiation tests of Japanese food at its ports and airports.
Yet experts say there is nothing to worry about. Only a small area around the Fukushima nuclear plant has been affected by the explosion. There is no indicator that food products from all over Japan are contaminated with radioactive particles from the damaged nuclear power plant. They also said that the country’s marine life is not likely to be affected either.
