FDA Blocks Import Of Japanese Milk And Produce<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"FDA<\/strong><\/div>\n

Concerned by reports that produce from farms near the damaged Fukushima <\/a>power
\nplant exhibited elevated levels of radiation, the US Food and Drug
\nAdministration has decided to temporarily halt import of some foods. <\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 19, Japanese officials reported<\/a>
\nthat “excessive levels of radiation were found in spinach and kakina (a
\nlocal Japanese vegetable) in Fukushima and adjacent Ibaraki
\nprefectures, traces of radioactive iodine were detected in tap water in
\nTokyo and nearby prefectures, and cesium in some samples.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

By
\nMarch 21, the Japanese Prime Minister ordered the Governors of the
\naffected prefectures of Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, and Tochigi to stop
\nthe distribution of spinach and kakina (a local Japanese vegetable)
\ninto the market. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also ordered the Governor of Fukushima prefecture to stop the distribution of raw milk. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>According to the FDA website: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“The
\nagency’s import tracking system has been programmed to automatically
\nflag all shipments of FDA-regulated products from Japan, and the Agency
\nmaintains a registry of companies that prepare, pack, manufacture, or
\nhold food for intended consumption in the U.S. The Agency will be
\npaying special attention to shipments from those companies in the
\naffected area.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite these increased measures,<\/strong><\/p>\n

both the FDA and Japanese officials claim that there is no direct threat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>–either to people or the US food supply.<\/strong><\/p>\n
