3 Measures Toward Ensuring Food Safety in Fukushima(Fishery Products) Fukushima prefecture government conducts monitoring inspection of radioactive Cs in fishery products for approximately 2 samples per week. (all fishery species in this area including those under distribution restriction have been inspected using germanium semiconductor detector for precise determination of radioactive Cs level). Trial Fishing and Sale was started in June 22 with limited operation area and selected fishing methods, targeting those fish species whose Cs level is stably below the standard limit. 2 km radius of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is excluded from the operation area. In addition, as it own effort of Fukushima prefecture, screening test has been conducted before sales. If 5Bq/kg or higher level is detected, distribution is voluntarily suspended.. Strict Monitoring Inspection 2. Trial fishing and Sale (as of the end of May. 26) Research vessel of prefecture Periodical inspection at the same sampling point Fisherman : fishing vessel Target species and fishing method appropriately selected for each fishing season 2 samples per week(seawater species) Inspection of Radioactive Cs level (Fukushima Agricultural Technology Center) The target species: 73 species (excluding double count) <Bottom trawlers: 73 species> Giant Pacific octopus, Japanese flying squid etc. <Octopus pot fishery : 73 species> Giant Pacific octopus, Chestnut octopus etc. <Coastal pelagic trawlers : 5 species> Kounago, Noodle fish, Whitebait, Halfbeak, > Salangichthys isikawae <Coastal gillnet fishery : 73 species> Salangichthys isikawae, Hiratsume-gani (Ovalipes punctatus), Swimming crab and Dog salmon etc. <Coastal crab pot fishery : 73 species> Hiratsume-gani (Ovalipes punctatus), Swimming crab, Common octopus and Whelk etc. <Diving fishery : 2 species> Abalone, Northern sea urchin <Dredge net fishery : species> Sakhalin Surf Clam <Coastal driftnet fishery : 73 species> Sardine, Japanese jack mackerel, Chub mackerel, Spotted mackerel, Yellowtail and Japanese Spanish mackerel etc. <Longline fishery: 73 species> Pascific cod, Red scorpionfish, etc. <Aquacultual fishery: species>asari clam -6-

11 Monitoring Survey of Japanese Foods by Importing Countries/Regions At least 7 countries/regions have published the results of monitoring survey of imported food from Japan. According to them, no cases have Relaxation been reported of the restriction to be exceeding since Dec. the 24 standard limits in those countries/regions, except for the 3 samples in Hong Kong in March 2, which exceeded the standard limits of radioactive iodine. (The half-life of radioactive iodine is 8 days.)

This notice is found at the URL, (Previously published on the official website of DAFF: non-compliance has not been found at import controls for more than three years. (Quoted from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 26/6) The 3 unsatisfactory samples* were announced on 23 March 2. * White Radish: 26Bq/kg (I-3), Turnip: 8Bq/kg (I-3), Spinach:,Bq/kg (I-3) 3_Nuclear_Event_and_F ood_safety.html Since January 23, AVA has not detected any radioactive contaminants in food from Japan Out of the,345 samples, two* were found to contain detectable levels of Cesium, but the levels were well below the established Derived Intervention Level(DIL) * 97.4 Bq/kg(Ginger powder) and 7.9 Bq/kg (Tea, Green, Decaffeinated) More than 2 food samples were tested and all were found to be below Health Canada s actionable levels for radioactivity. As such, enhanced import controls have been lifted and no additional testing planned Minor level of radioactive were detected, however, no exceeding case for the action levels both of Chinese Taipei and Japan were found
