The Japanese government has set new cesium contamination limits for food, but even with the new limits hundreds of inspections have revealed highly contaminated food products.

The new limits on non-dairy food products will be allowed to contain up to 100 becquerels of cesium per kilogram, baby food and milk will be permitted to contain 50 becquerels, and drinking water 10 becquerels.

But wait, what most people don’t know is that immediately after the March 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, the Japanese government temporarily raised the maximum cesium limit in food to 500 becquerels!!!

What that means is that it’s almost guaranteed that the people of Japan have been eating radioactive food!

Between January and March, 2012, a total of 600 cases have been found with more than the new 100 becquerels limit.  That includes salmon, flounder and raw shiitake mushrooms.  Local governments are supposed to stop the shipments of such contaminated food.
