Changes in Inspection Results for Rice (Incl. Inspection of All Rice Bags)

The production and distribution of rice are managed through measures to inhibit radioactive cesium absorption by the use of potassic fertilizer and inspection of all bags of harvested rice. In Fukushima Prefecture, planting has been restricted and measures to inhibit radioactive cesium absorption have been taken at Areas under Evacuation Orders and distribution of rice has been strictly controlled through inspection of all rice bags since FY2015 based on the "Policies on Planting of Rice."

Rice containing radioactive cesium at a level exceeding the standard limit decreased year by year, and there has been none since FY2015 (as of December 26, 2017).
