Vietnam has to date found no radiation contamination in food imported from Japan , the Ministry of Health’s Food Safety and Hygiene Department said on April 18.
The confirmation was made after testing 41 samples of imported food from Japan , the department said, adding that it will continue to keep an eye on food imported from Japan and provide timely information to consumers.

The Ministry of Health plans to provide training on diagnosis and treatment of radiation-related diseases and devise a radioactivity contamination prevention programme for the people./.
