das gute Koberind ist in Gefahr massenhaft vernichtet zu werden..die Japaner haben sich lange nicht ausreichend um die Folgen der Verstrahlung bei Lebensmittel gekümmert und hier genügen schon geringen Mengen um Gesundheitsschäden zu verursachen .Japan hatte zuvor nur 50 von 10000 Rindern getestet.
WSJ fand heraus,dass die Behörden Säfte und Honig überhaupt nicht getestet haben,sie sind völlig überfordert und wollen jetzt 3500 Rinder testen ,von denen sie annehmen,dass sie verstrahltes Reisstroh gefressen haben.In mehreren Prefecturen wurde der Rinderverkauf gestoppt.Verstrahltes Reisstroh wurde vielen Rindern gefüttert
....On July 8, government officials testing meat from a Tokyo slaughterhouse said they detected levels of radioactive cesium at nearly five times Japan's limit. The contaminated beef was traced to a farm here about 16 miles north of the damaged plant—from an animal whose hide had been checked by inspectors.
The revelation has raised all kinds of questions about how much contaminated beef had already been consumed, kicking off a food scare that continues to grow as more tainted meat is discovered.
A Wall Street Journal examination shows serious flaws in Japan's approach to safeguarding food in the event of a nuclear accident. Four months after the disaster, the government still is struggling to contain the contamination and to come up with an effective system for policing its food supply. Some foods, such as juices and honey, hit store shelves without any government screening. Many other foods are spot tested, but only minimally.
Japan succeeded in catching some contaminated food before it reached store shelves, including milk and spinach from parts of Fukushima prefecture, where the plant is located. But its spot-checking of beef from the troubled region turned out to be insufficient. Between the time of the disaster and the first discovery of tainted beef, the government tested only about 50 of the 10,000 or so cattle shipped from Fukishima—about 0.5%—government figures indicate.
In an effort to contain the problem, the government asked Fukushima prefecture on July 19 to halt all beef-cattle sales. On July 28, it stopped cattle sales in Miyagi prefecture as well, followed by Iwate prefecture on Monday and Tochigi on Tuesday.
Now Japan faces the challenge of testing more beef than it may be equipped to handle
The animal to which the first tainted beef was traced had been fed rice straw exposed to radioactive fallout. Contaminated rice straw, the government determined, had been fed to many cattle that had since been slaughtered, meaning that tainted meat found its way to supermarkets, restaurants and school cafeterias. The government is trying to track and test meat from nearly 3,500 cattle it believes ate contaminated straw.....
Scientists say it is difficult to identify a precise level at which radioactive contamination of food becomes an indisputable health hazard. Among other things, it depends on how much is consumed over the long term. .....
