Edokko Fish Quality

Many are concerned about the possibility of fish contamination from the Japanese Incident. We want to help inform you about our fish.

Not all of our fish comes from Japan. We get Salmon from Scotland, Saba from Norway, and Yellowtail from the South Tip of Japan which is not affected by the nuclear situation.

One of our suppliers put out a statement regarding the Japan incident and the fish they provide. You can read about it here TrueWorldFoods.com

Here is what the letter says from that link:

At True World Foods we understand some of our customers have expressed concerns about the possibility of contaminated seafood products from Japan. We offer a wide variety of seafood products from around the world, a majority of which originate from countries other than Japan. Those products still coming from Japan originate from areas far removed from the area of concern on Japan’s northeast coast. Most notably, our farm-raised tuna – Ten-Qoo Maguro – are reared in sea pens off Japan’s far southern coast.

Nevertheless we want to offer our customers the following assurances that the products we offer are safe and that we are closely monitoring events as they unfold in Japan:

• The Japanese Ministry of Health has issued an emergency declaration ordering that all agricultural and marine food products to be tested for the possible radioactivity in order to reassure the public of the continued safety and reputation of food from Japan.
• U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano states that all airline passengers and cargo arriving in the United States from Japan are being checked for radiation. Secretary Napolitano indicates these checks are only an exercise of precaution and just to make sure that everyone remains safe. She adds that no harmful radiation has been detected on any incoming cargo.
• The FDA has announced it is closely monitoring the situation in Japan and is working with numerous agencies to continue to ensure that foods imported from Japan remain safe. FDA is taking all steps to evaluate and measure any possible contamination in fish or seafood presented for import into the U.S. FDA states there is no risk to the U.S. food supply at this time and the agency does not have concerns regarding the safety of imported food products from Japan. Additional information can be found on FDA's website.
