Traces of radiation spilled from Japan’s hobbled nuclear plant were detected December 6 in baby formula manufactured by Meiji Co, a major food and candy maker. The formula had been manufactured in March. The company has recalled the formula although the Japanese authorities insist there is no risk to babies' health. This despite the scientifically-held position that there is "no safe dose" of radiation and studies that show prolonged exposure to low levels of radiation can be harmful.
