BRUSSELS -- The European Union has decided to require that food and farm items produced in Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture be inspected for radioactive contamination before being imported to the region, in the wake of radiation leaks from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the bloc's executive body said Monday. The decision came after the recent discovery in France of radioactive cesium at more than double the EU limit in Shizuoka-produced green tea leaves.
Perrier Radiological Content is significant
Perhaps EU products with significant radiological content, such as Perrier Bottled Water should be inspected by the Japanese.
It is a good idea to review the literature, when selecting bottled water.

Water sourced from underground reservoirs via natural springs or waterwells is often associated with low radionuclide content. This is not always the case. So for example, the Saratoga Springs are located approximately 25 miles north of Albany, New York and just south of the Adirondack Park. The disclosed radium content of Saratoga Springs is Radium 226 Pico Curies per Liter.
