Having read the article above, one of the readers queried Glico by phone call. Glico answered that ice cream products of EZAKI GLICO CO.,LTD is made of Fukushima milk, and manufactured in Fukushima as well.

 

Another reader posted on Twitter that Thai Airways International Public Company Limited served Glico’s ice cream as in-flight meal, and the label stated it’s made in Minamisoma city Fukushima.

It was a flight toward Thailand, and the picture was posted on 5/14/2014.

Après avoir lu l’article ci-dessus, un de nos lecteurs a contacté Glico par téléphone. Glico a répondu que les crèmes glacées EZAKI GLICO CO. LTD sont faites à partir de lait de Fukushima et fabriquées dans Fukushima également.

Un autre lecteur a publié sur Twitter que Thai Airways International Public Company Limited sert des crèmes glacées Glico dans ses repas à bord et l”étiquette précise bien que c’est fabriqué à Minamisoma dans Fukushima.
C’était un vol sur la Thailande et la photo a été mise en ligne le 14 mai 2014.

  1. Ten reasons not to eat food produced anywhere in Japan:

    1. Radioactive contamination has travelled hundreds of kilometres from FDNP.

    2. Known risk of hot particles.

    3. Airborne radiation still being released from the plant.

    4. Large quantities of radiation being released daily into the Pacific.

    5. Airborne dispersal of radiation from incineration of contaminated debris.

    6. Extensive evidence of contamination of reservoirs and waterways.

    7. Japanese authorities’ proven disregard for public health & safety.

    8. Concerted campaign of lies, denial, disinformation, propaganda and active suppression of information by Japanese authorities.

    9. Readiness of Japanese authorities to ‘solve’ the contamination problem by dilution and dispersal; hence:

    10. Likelihood that contaminated food products will be mixed and relabelled.

    Buyer beware. Consumers of food that may have come from Japan should demand to know its origin. Warn your friends. Spread harmful rumours!

    1. Martin Hawes,

      Excellent List, which is well conceived and effectively organized.

      Sincerely,

      Bill Duff

    2. Apparently, you have a list of reasons that make such “cheap” foodstuffs higher on the demand list for the Middle Kingdom on the mainland.

      No wonder dollar store goods are anything but boring on a spectrometer.

    3. Just to get some perspective, do you think the japanese produced food is more contaminated by radioactive particles, or by heavy metals from cars? What about pesticides and growth hormones?

      1. Here’s the thing though, (don’t quote me on this, as I’m no scientist), but radioactive substances bio-accumulate in the body, and are more difficult to purge than pesticides or even heavy metals. I know that some radioactive substances can be purged quite successfully, but they still take their toll over the long term; are probably more carcinogenic, generally speaking; and then there are the ones with ridiculous half-lifes of thousands to millions of years (if what other people say is true). That’s another thing – regular chemicals like teh ones you find on fruits/vegetables most likely can pass through the body or disintigrate over time.

        Furthermore, you have to take into account aggressiveness of diseases that would occur when pitching large amounts of growth hormones to large amounts of cesium or strontium (to name a few).

        Finally,just by looking at the health problems of some of the Japanese people mixed up in this whole fiasco, I’ve never seen such symptoms from regularly gulping down store-bought chicken. The Japanese diet is relatively healthy to the American diet (for instance, yet I’m seeing way more Japanese people, kids no less, with quite startling health issues. Do you mean to tell me that those pesky growth hormones and DDT finally caught up with preschoolers?

        1. So, which causes more damage then, bioaccumulated radioactivity, or heavy metals or pesticides? I mean, in terms of overall health impact? Bio-accumulation is dangerous depending on ehats accumulated. A bullet passes very quickly through the body yet causes a not of damage. Take it in terms of overall health impact, if eating such foods every day… which is worse (and by extension, which decontamination is worthy of our attention first)

      2. Here’s my perspective. Even if food was guaranteed 100% free of heavy metals, pesticides, synthetic hormones, GM, salt, sugar and artificial colouring, I would not want to eat it knowing it could be laced with droplets of corium. The knowledge that it might also be marinated in industrial contaminants would not make it any more attractive to me.

  2. Dilution, contamination & mixing was once merely humor; whereas Japan is now PUBLICLY doing such things. Example Joke: BACKGROUND: A FIRM IN GERMANY ORDERED COFFEE FROM A FIRM IN THE UNITED STATES. WHILE THE COFFEE WAS ENROUTE, A COUPLE OF BAGS BROKE OPEN AND RATS NESTED IN THE COFFEE. THE GERMAN FIRM SENT THE FOLLOWING LETTER CONCERNING THE CONDITION OF THE COFFEE — 135 WILHELMSTRASSE, HAMBERG, GERMANY … SCHENTELMENS:

    DER LAST 2 PECKETECHES VE GOT FROM YOU OFF KOFFEE WAS MIT RATTSCHIDT GEMIXT. DER KOFFEE MAY BE GUTE ENUF, BUT DER RATTSDURDS SCHBOILS DER TRADE. VE DID NOT SEE DER RATTSCHIDT IN DER SEMBLES VICH YOU SENT US FOR EXAMINASHUN.

    IT TAKES SO MUTCH TIME TO PEK DER RATTSDURDS FROM DER KOFFEE. VE ORDER DER KLEEN KOFFEE AND YOU SCHIPT SCHIDT MIXT MIT DER KOFFEE. IT VUS A MISCHTAKE, YA? VE LIKE YOU TO SCHIPP US DER KOFFEE IN VUN ZAK UND DER RATTSCHIDT IN DER ODER ZAK, DEN VE MIXT IT TO SUIT DER KOSTOMER.

    WRITE PLEASE IF VE SCHOULDT SCHIPP DER SCHIDT BEK UND KEEP DER KOFFEE ODER IF VE SCHOULDT KEEP DER SCHIDT UND SCHIPP DER KOFFEE BEK, OR SCHIPP DER HOLD SCHIDDEN VORK BEK. VE VENT TO DO RITE IN DIS MADDER, BUT VE DON’T LIKE DISS RATTSCHIDT BIZZINESS.

    MIT MUTCH RESPECTS, KARL GRUMMENSCHIDT

  3. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T TELL AIR-CANADA !!!
    Their food is already bad enough as it is.

  4. Forgive the people who cannot read Japanese. Little do they understand the Japanese wordings on the ice cream container. i am pretty sure if they had been informed that the ice cream was made in Fukushima using Fukushima cream, most would not eat it at all.

    Blame should be placed on the purchasing department of Thai Airways. that means that we should not trust any foodstuffs served on Thai Airways as they are not concerned with the origin of the foodstuffs they order.

    1. I think you’re right; Thai Airways could probably afford other options for icecream. Hell, Qantas doesn’t even offer that and it’s considered one of the best airlines (for some reason). I wonder, who lobbied whom to allow radioactive ice cream? Granted, we don’t know the reading of the product in question, but we have been given readings in the past of some of the dairy from that area.

  5. More reasons

    11. Testing food properly requires sophisticated equipment (not just a Geiger counter). Even if food comes with a label declaring it has been tested and is safe, and even if you can trust the label, you can be sure that only a sample of any given batch will have been thoroughly tested. Hence there’s no way of knowing if your particular tub of ice cream (or whatever) is the one with the hot shot.

    12. The Japanese government’s food-radiation standards are arguably too high.

    http //sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/How-to-set-up-a-home-or-community-food-testing-lab-for-radioactive-contamination.pdf

    1. The Canada and USA ‘radiation standards’ were dangerously raised, Post Fukushima. The USA and Canada permissible levels for food, water and land contamination are tantamount to NO STANDARDS AT ALL. The USA and Canada are now presumably lying about Pacific radioactive fallout contamination levels on a DAILY basis, by usage of a smorgasbord of propaganda methods.

      Japan nominally reduced the food and water standards, to relatively safe levels, given the circumstances, but routinely AVOID, DENY, CONCEAL, DODGE and LIE about test results. The net effect is equivalent to the (effective) NON-Standards of the USA and Canada.

      Tōhoku-chihō (Northeastern Honshu Island) is an inhabited radioactive exclusion zone. This exclusion zone is clarified to include Tokyo. It is statistical suicide, roughly akin to living in a combat zone, without a flack jacket, weapon or helmet.

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.
