Government Japan has detected high levels of radioactivity in milk and agricultural products around the Fukushima nuclear plant, but said that the contamination "is no immediate risk."
Minister Japan's government spokesman, Yukio Edan, said that the government will take appropriate action and do not rule out possible limitations in the distribution of local products.
Edan said that yesterday afternoon found a "high level of radiation" in milk produced in Fukushima, and today in spinach grown in the neighboring region of Ibaraki.
This announcement came amid concerns about the possible public exposure to radioactivity after the nuclear accident at the plant in Fukushima, affected by the earthquake and tsunami of April 11.
The Ministry of Health has sent experts to the neighboring Fukushima and Ibaraki province to conduct an investigation on the ground, while the provincial authorities studying what measures to adopt.
Edan said the government will continue to collect data on radiation levels in food to coordinate their policies and prevent spread rumors that unfairly affect other local producers.
