US Foods Begin To Be Monitored For Fukushima Rad
fukuleaks
There has been a gradual effort to independently test foods from the US and Canada for radiation related to Fukushima. This page is a compilation of the results we have found. Each food title links to the original source where we found the testing. Those websites usually have additional information on the testing or item tested.

*Eden Foods did turn back some imports and found safer suppliers for certain products in 2011. So there were problems or concerns with some foods in 2011 but the company took steps to avoid problematic foods. The testing provided may represent that change. We are including this Japan originated product due to it being a widely available product in US stores. The testing limits on Eden’s samples was quite high compared to other testing we have seen, please see the linked documentation for more details.
