Major supermarket chain Aeon sells contaminated food up to 50 Bq/Kg

Major supermarket chain Aeon sells contaminated food up to 50 Bq/Kg

It’s becoming increasingly impossible to eat safe food in Japan.

A major Japanese supermarket chain, “Aeon,” has stopped selling radiation-free food.
On 11/8/2011, Aeon announced that they had set their own safety limit for food at 50Bq/kg. [Link]
The Japanese government’s safety limit is set at 100 Bq/kg, so Aeon’s safety limit is supposed to be doubly safe; however, it’s still not 0 Bq/kg.
Aeon published the results of radiation testing, but the testing was only done on a few samples.

Aeon is currently building their backup headquarters in Aichi, central Japan. (cf. Largest supermarket chain and Imperial family move their back up in western Japan)

Major supermarket chain Aeon sells contaminated food up to 50 Bq/Kg

Il devient de plus en plus impossible de manger de la nourriture saine au Japon.
Un major japonais des chaînes de supermarchés, “Aeon,” a arrêté de vendre de la nourriture non radioactive.
Le 8 novembre 2011, Aeon a annoncé qu’ils ont fixé leur propre limite de sécurité à 50Bq/kg. [Lien]
Le gouvernement japonais l’a fixée à  100 Bq/kg, donc la limite de sécurité d’Aeon est supposée être deux fois plus sure; toutefois, ce n’est toujours pas 0 Bq/kg.
Aeon a publié les résultats de ses tests de radioactivité mais les tests n’ont porté que sur quelques échantillons.

Aeon est actuellement en train de construire son siège de secours à Aichi, dans le centre du Japon. (cf. Largest supermarket chain and Imperial family move their back up in western Japan)

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.
