Is this product 100% Radiation-Free since it is coming from Japan?

This issue has been raised by competing brands, but I've not seen the concern raised else where. I took a chance and have seen no ill effects, but have no further information. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

as far as I know it is Okinawa. I spent a few years there and am not worried about radiation

The amount of radiation from Fukashima reaching the United States is nothing to worry about. All science concerning radiation hormesis points to most Americans being radiation deficient. Please do search for Nighthawk Minerals and Jay Guttierez.... or read book ..What if Radiation is Good for You... The Radex and other radiation detectors sold in United States are mostly good for taking readings from radioactive stones and minerals.. sincerely .. jack h.

This product is irradiated according to the manufacturer, BUT I am still concerned about Chinese treats in general.

I can't answer that, but you might try Dr. Group's website: globalhealingcenter.com. Also, take a look at the Nascent Iodine (atomic) on Amazon.....look at what it says about ingredients. I share your concern about the Fukushima radiation. It's a lot worse that the US corporate media are trying to make everyone believe. Talk about criminal negligence.............

To the Kiss Me Organics rep: It clearly states on the 2nd photo which is the back of the package it is from Japan (multiple times) Why are we being told one thing, and the package states another? ?????!!!!

Previous info on this product said IT WAS WATERED WITH SEA WATER FROM THE PACIFIC offthe coast of Hawaii. That would be in direct down hill flow from Fukushima, if true.

How did you research? Where did you obtain proof? I asked the seller for info & they couldn't provide me with any proof in English that this doesn't come from an area affected by the radiation.

Hi, Jo. All of Starwest's herbs and spices are non-irradiated and GMO-free.

My order seems to have been shipped from Japan at least. The packaging had what I take to be Japanese lettering which I am unable to read. I am assuming the product was made in Japan.

I do not know it this product is tested for radiation and pesticide residue. I suggest you contact Great Eastern Sun, in Asheville, NC at customersvc@great-eastern-sun.com or www.great-eastern-sun.com or call at 828 665 7790. I have used the product for several years and enjoy it so much. Consuming several sheets of this a day has helped my hypothyroidism greatly.

Yes it is. I'd advise you buy from the U.K or U.S if you want to enjoy durability and quality. It's not like the Japan versions aren't good...they are, but they just aren't at their best yet.

There's an individual that's pretty consistent in commenting to the comments of others in regards to Matcha products and they say: "...just make sure you're not purchasing Matcha teas affected by the radiation fallout in Japan--which means avoiding ALL tea from the Shizuoka Prefecture region. The two brands that I know ARE safe are DoMatcha and Pure Matcha (there are others, but these are the two that I know of--not to mention they are high quality). They come from a region of Japan far away from ground zero. They are from Kagoshima, which is as far west from Fukushima as Denver is from New York. Also, the air currents go the opposite direction, which is why radiation has not been detected in those areas. Just thought you should know. :)"

Our Matcha powder is from China and it is not shade-grown. We sent these samples to a lab in Colorado to have them tested. Most brands won't do the testing because it's expensive - but it's important to us. We chose the farm that had the purest (and nutritionally most potent) green tea we could find anywhere. It just so happened to be from a farm in China. The locals have a long and storied tradition of cultivating high quality tea plants. They take a lot of pride in their plantation and meticulously care for each plant. There are some concerns with radiation from Japanese products right now. Since the devastating tsunami in 2004 damaged nuclear reactors in Japan, large portions of their green tea crops have been quarantined, destroyed, or ordered not to be harvested by the Japanese government. It's a tragic situation that has affected the supply of matcha and other teas all over the world.

Rader is inexpensive and simple. I am a surgeon with basic knowledge of radioactivity and bought this for general surveillance in my Maui hawaii environment with specific concern for debris washing up on the beach etc. If the treatment was with radioactive iodine for which the half life is short there would likely be little emitting source and you may detect nothing. Only about 160 bucks. Cheap insurance that your sushi is clean...
