Controls put on Japanese food amid radiation fears

HEALTH chiefs have imposed strict controls on food from quake-hit Japan amid radiation fears after a nuclear power plant leak.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said it wanted import controls, in line with European standards, to limit risks from food from 12 regions.

It is feared produce from the area may have been contaminated by a radiation leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
