China continues restricting importing baby formula from Japan

Because of the Fukushima accident and foot-and-mouth disease which prevailed in 4/2010, China bans importing baby formula.
Having measured cesium from baby formula, China re-confirmed to continue restricting importing baby formula from Japan from now too.

Meiji’s baby formula produced in Australia must pass their radiation test and get labelled as “Made in Australia.” Chinese government stated Australian products don’t need to be restricted.

【北京時事】中国国家品質監督検査検疫総局は7日、日本産の粉ミルクについて、昨年4月に日本で発生した口蹄(こうてい)疫や今年の東京電力福島第1原発事故の影響を受けて導入されている輸入禁止措置を現在も継続していることを改めて明らかにした。
明治の粉ミルク「明治ステップ」の一部から放射性セシウムが検出されたことは、7日付の中国各紙も報道。同総局は、オーストラリアで製造され正規輸入された明治の粉ミルクについては、検疫当局の検査に合格し、「豪州産」と表示しなければならないと指摘。正規販売されている豪州産製品には問題ないとの認識を示した。

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.
