On 9/11/2012, Minamisoma city government announced they measured cesium from 169 of 693 products in this August. They measured radiation in products for self-consumption. They measured over 100 Bq/Kg of cesium from 18 of 169 items.
The highest reading was 2,880 Bq/kg from edible wild plants taken in Haramachi ward.
These products are taken from sea, mountain, or home-grown. They are not supposed to be distributed.
Caesium-137 levels are fatal at 140 MBq/kg in smaller animals, but luckily it has a shorter shelf life than some radioactive material, and it I water soluble.
