URGENT: U.S. bans imports of dairy products from near Fukushima plant

WASHINGTON, March 22, Kyodo

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it will ban imports of dairy products and vegetables from an area near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, citing ''radionuclide contamination.''

The measure will cover products such as milk and spinach from Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures, the FDA said.
