Aeon Sold Beef From Cattle Fed Cesium-Tainted Straw

Aeon Co., Japan’s biggest supermarket chain, said beef from cattle contaminated by radiation was sold to customers at 14 of its stores in Tokyo and four other prefectures.

The meat was from cattle in Fukushima that ate straw tainted with cesium exceeding government safety standards, according to an e-mailed statement by the Chiba prefecture-based retailer.
