Summary WHO declared that the contaminated spinach and milk with radiation were safe for human consumption.
The United Nation Asia Pacific Health Agency spokesperson, Peter Cordingley, said that short term exposure to levels of radiation seen with the contaminated spinach will pose no short-term health risk. He added that the Japanese authorities have responded vigorously to the developments and the World Health Organisation (WHO) did not believe there was a need for the public to panic. Cordingley said the discovery of contaminated spinach as far away as 120 kilometres from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant was unexpected.
