A consumers' organization in Fukushima Prefecture has found no traces of radioactive cesium in meals produced by households in Fukushima Prefecture for a second straight year.
It tested meals prepared by residents with locally grown products and cooked in regular tap water. The findings underscore declining contamination in food five years after the nuclear disaster.
The annual study, conducted by Co-op Fukushima, checked for the presence of cesium-137 and 134 in meals prepared by 100 households in Fukushima over two consecutive days. The sampling was done between July last year and February.
