Customs officials check seafood from Japan possibly contaminated by radioactive water in Qingdao of East China’s Shandong province. A ring suspected of smuggling more than 5,000 tons of high-end seafood was busted in a two-year campaign. The investigation started after officials found retail prices for some premium seafood products in Qingdao were clearly below the market price for imports early this year. Some fish were also transported by vehicles licensed in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, further raising doubts over- legitimacy of the products from Japan, Russia and the United States. Some seafood products were also found to have originated from waters near Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. China banned Japanese food imports from 12 areas following the Fukushima nuclear incident in 2011. (Photo/IC)
