US FDA

Import Alert 99-51

"Import Alert Name:

Detention Without Physical Examination of Human Food Products That Appear To Have Been Prepared, Packed Or Held Under Insanitary Conditions Resulting in Chemical Contamination

Reason for Alert:

The FDA oversees the safety of the U.S. food supply (domestic and imports) by monitoring for chemical contaminants in food and assessing the potential exposure and safety concerns posed by these chemicals.

For example, radionuclides such as Cesium-137 (Cs-137), a radioisotope of cesium, can be present in many places around the world as a result of contamination produced high in the atmosphere during nuclear testing. Cs-137 is created via nuclear reactions, such as occurring in nuclear power plants and is also commonly used in medical and other industrial applications. Elevated amounts of Cs-137 can be present at locations where contamination settled from accidents such as Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011. "
