Level 4 inspection on certain Japanese food imports

PETALING JAYA: Ahead of the release of Fukushima’s treated radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean starting today, the Health Ministry says it will impose a Level 4 (Surveillance) inspection on high-risk food products imported from Japan.

“The inspections, which will be for analysis of radioactive material content, will be done at international entry points into the country,” Health director-general Datuk Dr Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan said in a statement yesterday.
