Japanese powdered milk maker Meiji says they will replace 400,000 cans of their product, after it was found contaminated with cesium.
The levels are below safe limits but the company says it’s better to be safe than sorry. The powdered milk was produced from March 14 to 20. The base powder used was made before 11 March 2011.
Meiji did not voluntarily test their product, nor was it government officials, it was a consumer group who forced the testing. Meiji officials are now trying to figure out how their product got contaminated. The company has factories all over Japan, from Hokkaido down to Tokyo. This is another indication how much the radiation from Fukushima Daiichi has spread.
