The FDA just banned the U.S. from importing fresh food from nuke-affected parts Japan, according to ABC news.

Specifically, four affected prefectures won’t be able to send any of the following foods into the U.S.:

  • Milk
  • Vegetables
  • Fruit

The FDA has been saying that generally there are no risks, but fears are obviously growing.

Japan has also ringfenced that region.
