“In Fukushima, 1724 samples of rice, which is as double as national standard, were tested and all of the samples turned out to be less contaminated than emergency safety limit.
– Fukushima Mayor Sato Yuhei”
Fukushima mayor declared the safety of rice in Fukushima 10/12/2011.
However, as the result of the emergency additional test, most of the samples showed much higher level of radiation.
The result is published on the HP of Fukushima prefecture but there is hardly anyone to check it up.
This is the organized data to compare the actual contamination and the published result.

As you can see, Fukushima prefecture picked up the most moderate numbers to publish and concealed the actual contamination data. Actual contamination data is so far from the published results that this table confuses you.
Rice which is actually contaminated even worse than the Japanese safety limit, is distributed.
