のり Nori Seaweed


Our factory has tested the Nori for Radiation ongoing since the disaster 3 years ago with no issues. In addition We test our Nori at an independent Lab here in the US with each Harvest.(generally twice per year) We test for more then 22 different Isotopes of Radiation. Our nori comes out "non detectable" in every category. 
3年前の事故以来、当社の工場ではのりの放射能汚染について検査しています。当社ののりをアメリカの独立したラボで、収穫ごとに検査しています。(通常年2回)22核種以上について検査します。当社ののりは全ての核種において「検出限界以下」となっています。

Our Harvest location is a 4000 acre growing area classified as certified Organic growing waters, located in the Northern part of the East China Sea, well below the southern tip of Japan. It is up current and up wind from Fukushima which is located off the Northern tip of Japan on the Pacific Ocean side. Since prevailing winds and currents in that part of the world go South to North, our site has thus far remained unaffected. The next Harvest occurred in late February, and we will have that new harvest product sometime at the end of May at which time we will test again. 
当社のノリの収穫地は、日本最南端から更に南のオーガニックの環境と認可された海域、4000エーカーの栽培地です。そこは、福島が位置する日本の太平洋側北部からの海流とは逆方向、風上になります。風と海流は南から北に流れるので、私たちの収穫地は影響をはるかに免れているのです。次の収穫は2月下旬で、製品となるとは5月の終わりになるでしょう。その際にはまた検査をします。
