Contaminated Japanese Food Imports

U.S. halts food imports from affected areas of Japan

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it will halt imports of dairy products and produce from the area of Japan where a nuclear reactor is leaking radiation.

The FDA says that those foods will be detained at entry and will not be sold to the public. The agency previously said it would just step up screening of those foods.

Other foods imported from Japan, including seafood, will still be sold to the public but screened first for radiation.

Japanese foods make up less than 4 percent of all U.S. imports, and the FDA has said it expects no risk to the U.S. food supply from radiation.

MY COMMENT: ".....not sold to the public." Translation, is that it will be sold to food processors & wholesalers

".......no risk to the US food supply." Translation, no risk to food supply, but what about the people?

It seems that you have to read between the lines.
