Violation
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare commissioned the National Institute of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation to purchase and analyze foods actually circulated in 15 regions nationwide from September to October 2015. The investigation estimated that the annual radiation dose from radioactive cesium in food is between 0.0006 and 0.0015 millisieverts per year. This is less than 1% of the current standard limit of 1 millisievert per year, confirming that the radiation exposure from food is extremely small. The Ministry will continue to conduct similar surveys to verify food safety.

厚生労働省は、国立医薬品食品衛生研究所に委託して、平成27年９月から10月に、全国15地域で、実際に流通する食品を購入し、食品中の放射性セシウムから受ける年間放射線量を推定しました。調査の結果、食品中の放射性セシウムから、人が１年間に受ける放射線量は、0.0006～0.0015ミリシーベルト／年と推定され、これは現行基準値の設定根拠である年間上限線量１ミリシーベルト／年の１％以下であり、極めて小さいことが確かめられました。厚生労働省では、今後も継続的に同様の調査を行い、食品の安全性の検証に努めていきます。
