Contaminated food found near nuclear plant

Don't worry people, the food is O.K. it just has a little bit of radiation in it!

The thing about this that bothers me is they keep saying Radiation really is not a problem, I hope the Japanese people are not gullible.

Japanese officials have found abnormal radiation levels in several food products in the area surrounding the troubled Fukushima nuclear power plant.

The discovery came as the country was rocked by another strong aftershock just as officials said they were making progress in their battle to contain the nuclear crisis and cool the power plant.

There have not been any reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued following the 6.1 magnitude earthquake.

Milk and spinach in the affected region has been found to contain radiation levels high enough to breach food-safety laws.

But chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano says there is no immediate risk to humans.

"Even though you continue to consume these product for a year, a total radiation level that will be taken inside the body will be comparable to one run of CT scan," he said.
