Old-established-cafe in Tokyo “Ginza West” decided to use Fukushima butter

On 9/8/2014, an old-established-cafe “Ginza West (Since 1947)” announced they started using Fukushima butter as of 9/1/2014.

They commented “Now that the safety is confirmed based on scientific facts, it would increase harmful rumor if we keep avoiding Fukushima products.”

They also stated on Twitter that it would be the real risk about food when nobody trusts the government’s announcement.

 

Specifically, they are going to use Fukushima butter for 27% of buttercream for the cakes and a confection.

 

Currently the safety limit of Cs-134/137 in milk is 50 Bq/Kg. “Ginza West” comments they would not use the butter when the Cs-134/137 density goes over 50 Bq/Kg. However they also stated on Twitter that even if a consumer has one of their confections everyday, it would take 513 years to accumulate 50 Bq/Kg in the body.

 

They are not going to indicate in the materials list on package because “such low level of radioactive material cannot be harmful for the health”.

Un vieux café de Tokyo, le “Ginza West”, a décidé d’utiliser du beurre de Fukushima

 

Le 8 septembre 2014, le “Ginza West (Since 1947)”, un café établi depuis longtemps, a annoncé qu’ils avaient commencer à utiliser du beurre de Fukushima butter depuis le 1er septembre 2014.

Ils ont déclaré que “maintenant que la fiabilité est confirmée sur la base de faits scientifiques, ce serait contribuer aux rumeurs malveillantes que de continuer à éviter les produits de Fukushima.”
Ils ont également affirmé sur Twitter que ce serait le vrai risque alimentaire que personne ne fasse confiance aux déclarations du gouvernement.

En particulier, ils vont utiliser du beurre de Fukushima pour les gâteaux à 27% de crème fraîche et d’autres confections.

Actuellement, la limite de sécurité du lait sur les Cs 134/137 est de 50 Bq/kg. “Ginza West” déclare qu’ils n’utiliseront pas ce beurre lorsque sa concentration en Cs 134/137 dépassera 50 Bq/kg. Cependant, ils ont également affirmé sur Twitter que même si un client consomme une de leurs préparations chaque jour, il lui faudrait 513 ans pour accumuler 50 Bq/kg dans son corps.

Ils n’indiqueront pas la liste de leurs ingrédients sur leurs emballages parce que “des niveaux de radioactivité aussi faibles ne peuvent pas être dangereux pour la santé”.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
