USA Tightens Regulation of Japanese Food Imports USAが日本からの輸入食品の規制を強化!

(Source)
In the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, the EU and the USA relaxed their regulations on the permitted maximum level of caesium in imported food, to 1250Bq/kg in the USA and 1200Bq/kg in the EU.
With food imported from Japan after the Fukushima fallout, the EU only has been asking for inspection documentation for food from the Tohoku and Kanto regions.  However, the USA tightened its regulations at the beginning of September this year and now strictly regulates imports from fourteen prefectures instead of the previous eight. For example they stopped importing edible fungi and wild animal meat from Tohoku and Kanto, and a variety of vegetables including rice, soybeans and wild plants, as well as fish, from Tohoku area.
アメリカは今月上旬に日本からの輸入品に対する規制を強化しています。農林水産省が発表した資料によると、9月9日にアメリカの輸入規制対象県が8県から14県に拡大したとのことです。
変更前は岩手県、宮城県、福島県、茨城県、栃木県、群馬県、千葉県、神奈川県の8県で、変更後は青森県、山形県、埼玉県、新潟県、山梨県、長野県、静岡県が追加されました。
Previous 8 countries for tight control areas were Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate, Ibaragi, Tochigi, Gunma, Chiba, Kanagawa prefectures. After this September Aomori, Yamagata, Saitama, Niigata, Yamanashi, Nagano and Shizuoka prefectures have been added to the list of the tight control areas.
