Is the rice used to make this product grown in an area impacted by the Fukushima radiation event?

Yes, the pills glow in the dark. Love the radiation flavor, Fukushima is said to be the best.

Go online to now supplements and ask them. I have a lot of trust in their products. But if they are sourcing it from the Pacific ocean I would worry about more than arsenic.After the Japanese meltdown there is probably a lot to consider. Thanks for asking the question.

1000 Bq/Kg is a huge dose of radiation!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbX9ubE_hI - in here you can see that this tea contains twice as normal amount of radiation.http://enenews.com/radioactive-tea-leaves-1000-km-fukushima-80-bqkg-detected-kagoshimaIn here it shows that all Japan is contaminated - far or close. So in a way, Chinese powder might even be healthier. Rather than consuming the most toxic radioactive material. Keep in mind, there are around 98 radioactive particles coming out from the Fukushima plant, and its on-going for the next 40-80 years at least. The half life is 2 and 31 years of cesium alone (which already exceeds the limits). If I am not mistaken the US limit is 10Bq/kg, in japan its been set to 200bq/kg. 1000 Bq/Kg is a huge dose of radiation!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbX9ubE_hI - in here you can see that this tea contains twice as normal amount of radiation.http://enenews.com/radioactive-tea-leaves-1000-km-fukushima-80-bqkg-detected-kagoshimaIn here it shows that all Japan is contaminated - far or close.

Yes, it is. It is produced by Fuji Cutlery, fairly large factory of Fujitora Industries, which was established after the war, in 1953 as Fujitora Industries, in the city Tsubame, in the west central prefecture of Niigata. They started out making farm equipment, I believe.

Yes it is grown in California, this is the only rice my wife (Japanese) uses for sushi and other Japanese dishes.

Grown in Tawain, processed in Japan, I think. They have a website...maybe check it.

If it's helpful, I wrote to Zojirushi about this subject and received a very nice reply listing all models and country of manufacture. I've pasted the list below:Our rice cookers are manufacture in Japan, Thailand, or China. Here is a breakdown of our models and origin. Manufactured in Japan: NP-HBC10/18 NP-KAC10/18 NP-GBC05 NS-ZCC10/18 NS-KCC05 NS-DAC10 Manufactured in China: NS-TGC10/18 NS-WAC10/18 NS-PC10/18 NS-LAC05 Manufactured in Thailand: NS-RNC10/18A NHS-06/10/18

I did some research and couldn't find anything regarding contamination at the farm the leaves are gown on. The seller details states that the leaves are grown on Nagata Farm, I did find this, maybe it will help. http://www.teamuse.com/article_110701.html

The web site says they grow their tea in Kagoshima, Japan which is south west of Shizuoka. Also the website has videos of ways to prepare this tea! I didn't know that before.

I don't know where that strain was from.- Jon the co-founder has been finding unique strains and helping the villages get enough product to ship- this was the first huge success they had, now they have fields all over and are in mass production of at least 4 strains of rice. I would check on their direct website. you will love every one of the unique types but they are all totally different.

I transfered the rice to an airtight container so no longer have the bag. I purchased the rice because it was advertized as organic, California grown.

It is not irradiated. Food irradiation is prohibited by organic certification standards. This is really good cinnamon! I won't buy any other brand.

yes, it says right on the rice cooker "made in Japan". The cooker has worked great from day one and the stainless steel look matches our kitchen well. We eat rice with every meal. We get many complements on it!

I found this article that says rice grown in California has less arsenic than rice grown in the the southern US States. Nishiki is grown in California. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1892142/

I don't know. The label says "environmentally controlled ponds." Call 1-800-9NATURE or visit www.naturesway.com and ask. Japan's chlorella market seems to have collapsed since the disaster. All commercial chlorella comes from China, Taiwan, Korea or Japan. More research might be necessary to find out the "cleanest" source.

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .
