The attitude toward food safety is rather a personal preference among the Tokyo residents after the Fukushima nuclear plant incidence which led to a serious radiation scare. Checking for food labels may be enough for some consumers, but some take it to the next level by going to the radiation monitoring stations to ensure food safety. On the other hand, many of them already went back to the normal as they were before the disaster.
Although the government has been setting up radiation monitoring centers for people to check food safety, getting yes-or-no answers is not easy. People still need to decide on their own whether the food is safe to consume. Besides the food safety concern among Japanese, nation’ food export and tourism were negatively impacted. For example, Fuji Apple exports to Taiwan dropped to zero in two months while the tourism plummeted 70% after the disaster.
