Indonesia Detects Radiation at Clove Farm
Indonesian authorities have found traces of radioactivity at a clove farm on Sumatra island, according to a government spokesperson.
The investigation was launched after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected Cesium-137 contamination in spices from Indonesia, including a sample of cloves from PT Natural Java Spice.
- The FDA detected Cesium-137 in a sample of cloves.
- Radioactive isotope was also detected in a sample of frozen shrimp from Indonesia in August.
A task force spokesperson, Bara Hasibuan, stated that inspection teams were sent to facilities and farms on Java and Sumatra islands.
The government had banned the farm from selling its cloves as a preventive measure.
