Pls just test it when it arrives. Papers can easily be forged by importers. And furthermore Japan has already enough problems that need their full attention. Give them a break pls...

The Indonesian government on Thursday said it had requested that all food imported from Japan be accompanied with certification showing it was free of radiation contamination.

Health Minister Endang Sedyaningsih said all food, both fresh and processed, shipped after March 11 should be accompanied “with radiation free and radioactive substance contamination certification from Japanese authorities.”

She said ministry data showed the latest processed food shipped from Japan was on March 9.

“There has been some fresh food [shipped] but it has been quarantined for further checks by the National Nuclear Energy Agency [Batan],”  Endang said. “The tests will define whether it is safe or it needs to be destroyed.”
