Shoppers in Asia Shun Japanese Products on Radiation Concerns

Shoppers in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney are shunning Japanese food products in supermarkets amid concerns about radiation.

“Before the earthquake I bought Japanese food produce almost every day, especially Japanese onions, which are my favorite,” said Yuko Kojima, 40, as she searched the frozen food aisles of the APITA grocery and department store in Hong Kong. “Now I’m buying more food imported from Korea, Australia and New Zealand.”
