Is there still radiation in the food in Japan?

Question:

after the devastation in Japan I heard there was radiation in the food. Is it still there? How long will it take until the food doesn't have radiation in it? I'm planning to go and live there for a year in the far future I think so I was curious about this... thansk!!

Answer:

What you mean "still?"
Radiation-polluted food has NEVER been circulated on Japanese market throughout the nation.
Japan has far more strict food-safety regulations than any other country in the world. Not only radio activities, but chemical ingredients, and gene recombinations of all kinds of crops and vegetables are strictly checked before they are placed on the market.

This is one of the reasons why US agriproducts cannot get into Japanese market. Many of them are rejected by Japanese inspection rules. For instance, many Americans do not care about gene recombination of crops and vegetables, but the Japanese do care. Japanese law requires that all the food made from gene-altered agriproducts should specify it on their packages.

Most Japanese refuse to eat any dangerous and suspicious food. This is why most of the Japanese stay in shape and healthy as opposed to those ugly-looking, obese Americans.

You'd better be extra cautious about what you are eating in your own country before asking about food safety in Japan.
