Japan expands food ban, 3 more Prefectures hit with contamination

Over the weekend food products from Fukushima Prefecture were banned due to radiation contamination.  Now 3 more prefectures have been added to the food ban.

Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma prefectures have now been told their food products are contaminated was well.  Earlier Ibaraki Prefecture had spinach test positive for contamination, but wasn’t told to stop shipments.

Once again the government is confusing people by saying the radiation levels in the food had exceeded established safety levels, but was not harmful if eaten.
