Major food and candy maker Meiji Co. said it was recalling canned powdered milk for infants, with expiration dates of October 2012, as a precaution. The levels of cesium-134 and cesium-137 in the milk were up to 31 becquerels per kilogram, which is below the government limit of 200 Becquerels per kilogram set for milk. Airborne radioactive cesium contaminated milk as it was being dried at a plant in Saitama prefecture in March, citing the company.

Meiji has about 40 percent of domestic baby formula sales, but the amount of recalled formula wasn't disclosed. The product is exported to Vietnam under a different name. Children are more at risk than are adults of getting cancer and other illnesses from radiation exposure. Many consumers are worried. Some stores are labeling where the food was grown or caught, allowing shoppers to opt for imports or products from parts of the country deemed safe.
