This detailed and multi-sourced information and documentation is one of the most comprehensive sources for food and drink radiation testing results conducted and compiled since the triple meltdowns began at Fukushima Daiichi in Japan March 11, 2011. Radiation Food Lab will be updated with new test results continuously through the comments section below.

Why test food for radioactive contamination?
Because governments have deceived the public about food safety radiation levels worldwide.
They first release an article like the one below. I am using the European Union as an example here:
“EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster. The European Union is to step up controls on food imports from Japan in the wake of the nuclear accident at Fukushima – but stressed there was no evidence that consumers in the region were at risk from radiation-contaminated food.
“The EU ruling insists that all products from these prefectures are tested before leaving Japan and said they will be subject to random testing in the bloc. Japanese authorities will have to provide a declaration confirming products do not contain radioactive elements – called radionuclides – that exceed EU maximum levels. The Commission highlighted radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137.”
http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Quality-Safety/EU-boosts-food-import-controls-after-Japanese-nuclear-disaster
This makes you feel warm and cosy inside, because you think your government is looking after you and your family. This article “EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster” is a clever deception because they then proceed to quietly raise the EU maximum safety levels by 20x for caesium-134 and caesium-137. Governments worldwide have used this same tactic.
http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/eu-secretly-ups-cesium-safety-level-in-food-20-fold/
They then tell the public everything is testing below safety levels, nothing to worry about!
Here is another example, Japan this time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc6FPIK1VaY
If you do purchase good food testing radiation contamination equipment, look at the old pre-Fukushima radioactive food contamination safety levels, as a possible guide. If you can purchase a non-contaminated food item do so, as any level of radioactive food contamination poses a risk.
So what does this mean?
Radiation contamination bio-accumulates over time, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time.
You can’t rely on governments, so it is important for your family’s health and safety that you take the time and effort to research this subject. In summary, for your family’s safety, only purchase food and goods that are not from contaminated areas. Also, research dietary systems that help remove or protect your body from radioactive contamination.
An Oncologist in Japan has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage to their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%! It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this to fortify against the effects of radiation. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.

The general suggestion here in Australia at the present time is to eat locally grown food. No detections have been made in any locally produced food that has been tested so far. Be careful of food products labelled “Made from Australian and imported ingredients”.
Further Reading
Even low-level radioactivity is damaging, http://www.sc.edu/news/newsarticle.php?nid=5214#.UKlCJYbAHov
According to the Petkau Effect long term low level radiation can potentially be more dangerous than a short high dose.
Latest International reports of radioactive isotope contamination of food items
This is by no means a complete list. If you know of a reported detection that is not on this list please let us know by posting a comment.
NOTE: A lot of food and environmental detection reports tend to concentrate on Cesium detection. This is because it is relatively easy to test for, and detect. If Cesium is present in a test result, there is a possibility that other types of radioactive isotopes are also present but not reported. Fallout is a dirty mixture of isotopes. It is not just Cesium. Some of the other isotope contaminants, particularly the dangerous Alpha emitters, need more specialized and expensive equipment to detect their presence.
Ingested radiation from contaminated food or water radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. This means any ingestion of radioactive isotopes increases risk to ones well-being. Children and pregnant women are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation.

This is particularly important article in the light of our detections of significant amounts of Beryllium Be-7, in our rain wash out tests here in Australia. In this Dartmouth study they explain why they use Be-7 as a tracker, for the hard to detect long lasting radioactive Iodine I-129.
Extracts from Article:
“The production rate of these two isotopes in a nuclear reactor occurs at a fixed ratio of 3 parts iodine-131 to one part iodine-129.”
“Thus, the group’s research turned toward the development of an innovative alternative approach to measuring and tracking the iodine. What became an important off-shoot of their work was the methodology of using the benign radioisotope, beryllium-7, as the tracking indicator. It’s an easily detected natural radionuclide, and is routinely used by the Dartmouth researchers in their environmental analyses.
The Dartmouth researchers have shown that beryllium-7 follows the same transport paths as the iodine isotopes. By ascertaining the ratio of association of the beryllium to the iodine, tracing the beryllium-7 as it moves through the environment then allowed the researchers to track the parallel transport of iodine, and to demonstrate the accumulation of iodine fallout in stream sediments.”

Soil, Water, and Rain Testing Results
Rainwater capture test 13th, April, 2013
Detected Beryllium Be-7, Lead Pb-210, and Uranium U-235 in local
rain test, Australia
If the large amounts of Beryllium Be-7 being detected in this, and previous tests, has not been created in the upper atmosphere, this means Fukushima is still very unstable, and the molten underground coriums could be still fissioning.

Roof down pipe filter design.
http://sccc.org.au/down-pipe-filter-design
This is not a test of the activated charcoal in this rainwater roof down pipe filter design, (see link), but the polyester particulate filter I placed before it. The polyester particulate filter was placed in front of the activated charcoal, to trap course material that may get flushed down off the 36 sqm tin roof.
Just thought I would also test the polyester particulate filter, as I usually just test the activated charcoal in this roof down pipe filter experiment. It had been in place for a couple weeks before testing. There had not been much rain through it until recently.
To get better accuracy I placed an Aluminum beta shield in front of the scintillator, during this test. This was to help stop peak position shift caused by a test chambers artifact at 511 keV, and Be-7 being a strong beta emitter.
Beryllium Be-7 has a theoretical back scatter peak at around 166 keV, very close to the 185 kev for Uranium U-235. There is the possibility that it is contributing to the size of the peak at that location. It may also explain the width, and rounding of that peak at around 185 keV.
Please feel free to comment on the test analysis.
In the next couple days I will air dry the activated charcoal filter, and test it.

@chase, I agree, that is why we have to do our best to try, and educate as many people as possible, to the seriousness of the situation. Hopefully we can turn the tide, and stop the destruction of earth’s biosphere. Future life on this planet, not just human life, depends on our positive actions now.
If enough people wake up, there is a possibility of survival, and recovery from this very environmentally destructive period in human history.
What will these tests be like in 5 or 10 more years?
Coconuts on Bikini island still test very high for radiation, more than 60 YEARS later. The reason is the soil contamination which then passes on via roots and concentrates back into the plant.
HOTSPOT avoidance will become more difficult as time goes on. Once a hotspot is created it will seep, creep, blow and SPREAD in ways we’ve not yet dreamed of.
Report on 3/2/2013, Chinese customs announced they rejected the importing of Japanese suntan cream, after the detection of cadmium contamination.
This report also talks about cadmium contamination of Japanese frozen Saury. Apparently they sent 24 tones (4,560,000 JPY) back to Japan from Shandong China 6/13/2012, after detecting excessive levels of cadmium.
Sorry about the typos in the above post. Always notice them after posting, for some reason. There must be a typo gremlin.

Report of Japanese finding a higher level of food contamination in in some Californian 2012 grown produce, than after boom testing in the 1960′s. On page 3 it discuses the subject of, “The Long-Winded Fallout-Generated Hotspot Phenomenon”, which may explain why this is happening.
