CHIEF Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said today that radiation levels have exceeded allowable limits in spinach and milk following radioactive leaks at the troubled Fukushima nuclear plant.
The top government spokesman said that the tainted milk and spinach was found in Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures respectively.
It was the first case of food being contaminated by radiation since the March 11 quake caused radioactive leaks at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
On average, the dose of radiation one absorbs after a year's consumption of the contaminated milk is equivalent of taking one CT (computed tomography) scan in hospital, he said.
While the radiation level in the case of spinach is just one fifth of the dose, Edano added.
Edano did not give more detailed information but urged the public to remain calm.
