Japanese seafood products banned in South Korea, due to radiation risks

South Korea Bans Imports of 35 Japanese Seafood Products VOA, June 27th, 2012 South Korea has placed a temporary import ban on 35 Japanese seafood products because of fears of lingering radiation contamination from last year’s devastating nuclear disaster.

Seoul’s Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries says the ban is a temporary measure meant to protect South Korean citizens from products originating from the waters near the Fukushima nuclear power plant…….. The items banned Wednesday by South Korea include several types of flatfish, clams and sea urchins, products that are already prohibited from sale in Japan. With the latest move, Seoul now prohibits a total of 64 Japanese seafood items from entering South Korea. http://blogs.voanews.com/breaking-news/2012/06/27/south-korea-bans-imports-of-35-japanese-seafood-products/

  1. This ban is not based on scientific data at all.
    Considering the government funded VANK activities, alongside Comfort Women campaigns, in US (& Europe), it seems to be politically motivated Anti-Japan movement to block Japan’s induction of 2020 Olympics.

    They have to remember many countries placed Korean “human fecal waste contaminated seafood” under ban, be rational and learn to be modest – if possible that is.
