Changes in Inspection Results for Vegetables, Fruits and Beans

Upon production and shipment of vegetables, fruits and beans, measures to inhibit radioactive cesium absorption by the use of potassic fertilizer are taken.

No vegetables and beans harvested in FY2015 onward have been found to contain radioactive cesium exceeding the standard limit up to December 2017.

No fruits harvested in FY2013 through to FY2016 were found to contain radioactive cesium exceeding the standard limit, but there was one case where radioactive cesium exceeding the standard limit was detected among fruits harvested in FY2017 (as of December 2017).
