I am sure in India Cs 134/Cs137 in Kellogs or any other brand corn flakes will be tested and if it contains any, will be promptly rejected and the consignment thrown away to be enjoyed by cows and then by infants. Please change for the better now!

Hi BaB:
You would be surprised, very surprised. The rice is grown in California just west of Sacramento. These are huge rice fields. This is one of the best and most expensive brands of rice. The climate is perfect (very hot) and there is plenty of water as the King river nearby rushes towards the Golden Gate bridge in SF. The soil is incredibly rich, as for millions of years the rains washed the minerals from the Sierra Nevada mountains (as big as Alps) down to the Central Valley.
I shop in the Chinese supermarkets here in the SF area. The California rice is being sold everywhere and it carries the highest price. If you are in Germany, check your local Chinese supermarket. Chances are that you will see the California rice.
These rice fields are brutal during summer when you drive Interstate into Sacramento thru the rice fields. Your windshield will be completely covered with splashed insects. Big cleanup job after each trip to Sacramento.

Exactly. The Fuku wind blowing right over some of the best rice farming in the world.
Now with the refinery fire dumping sulphuric acid on the fields, the toxicity just goes straight up:

In fiction (say, Grisham novels) these games go about five levels deep. In real life, who knows?
One Grisham plot had a CEO deliberately help push his company to the brink of failure then buy depressed company stock for his own account, then bring the company back to prosperity – and that was just one little subplot in the novel. In Grisham books, lawyers and judges are routinely part of the covert action. I don't think he's written much about politicians, pension fund managers, sovereign wealth funds, bankers, Monsanto, Big Energy or other contemporary players though. I may be wrong – haven't read his stuff in a while.
It's a jungle out there. Tony the Tiger is not the only animal stalking prey, I imagine.

Perception Management: How 'acceptable levels' of radiation are adjusted to make us think everything is A-OK
"..Only here (in article 2) do we find that the allowable limit of radioactive food and fodder contamination was increased tenfold relative to the older regulation (3985/1987), while at the same time the list of articles included in that regulation is much bigger. Presumably the numbers are being manipulated to accommodate the ever-increasing levels of radiation being detected in the years following a nuclear accident.
In summing up, the allowable contamination limit for cesium 134 or 137 increased as follows: for milk and dairy produce – from 370 Bq to 10,000 Bq/kg or liter; for other foodstuffs – from 600 Bq to 12,500 Bq/kg or liter!!!
As a side note, isn't it odd that 3 years after the 1986 disaster in Eastern Europe the limits were revised upwards? Doesn't it suggest how much we've been lied to about levels of radiation post-Chernobyl?
The FoodWatch Organization was first to notice that recent EU regulation 297/2011 made a mistake in comparing allowable limits between EU and Japan because it was based on European limits set back in 1987. To arrive at the current limits decided on this year, you have to multiply them by a factor of 10 (see paragraph 2 in regulation no 944/89). ….."

I think the EPA raised the permissible standard for water as well
Jeff MacMahon at Fobes had posted in April of 2011 that the EPA allows 3 picocuries per liter for beta-emitters like Iodine-131:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2011/04/14/why-does-fda-tolerate-more-radiation-than-epa/
"EPA does not allow drinking water to contain more than 3 picoCuries per liter of radioactive istotopes like iodine-131 and cesium-137."
However, when I started looking at current EPA guidelines, I found two separate pages that gave the allowable level for beta-emitters in terms of an exposure level, not a quantitative measurement of the amount of beta-emitters in water.
Both of these links show EPA water levels set at 4mrem a year:
[Exccerpt] "To protect public health, EPA has established drinking water standards for several types of radioactive contaminants combined radium 226/228 (5 pCi/L); beta emitters (4 mrems); gross alpha standard (15 pCi/L); and uranium (30 µg/L)"
http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/radionuclides/index.cfm
See table here with same content here:
http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/index.cfm#Radionuclides
Arclight found the following link explaining the measurement equivalent for 4 mrem
"EPA has established a maximum contaminant level of 4 millirem per year … The average concentration of cesium-137 which is assumed to yield 4 mrem/year is 200 picocuries per liter….

Thanks majia.
You explained that in a very understandable way.
So, 200 pq/yr for a liter of water.
(note: year – that's a good 'baseline' comparison I would think.)
Figure ~20 pq/kg in the cereal. (19.71 pq/kg)
The box says 250 grams. That would be .25 kg
Then, if one ate the whole box they would receive a dose of 5 pq.
(that seemed simple enough)
Going a bit further if a person ate 1 box per week for a year they would exceed the 200 pq/yr limit for water.
(Correct me if I am wrong.)
Articles should state this. We shouldn't have to figure it out.

Report Comment
I think I know what you mean philipupnorth but it's messy. For instance:
Quite a few foods contain radiation naturally (as the pro-nukes love to remind us). In that case, I would prefer to see labels rather than criminalizing, say, banana distributors.
Governments everywhere pick some level as "acceptable", in which case the "bad guys" wouldn't be the food-production/distribution people who follow the rules, but rather the governments who make them. It's important to distinguish between perps and bystanders, but of course in the real world the boundaries are fuzzy because the food people probably pressure the government people to relax the limits.
Finally, society might agree that some level is acceptable (or not) – it's just that we are never asked. The decisions are made by faceless bureaucrats "on our behalf". All in all, labeling might do the trick if the public understood the implications of the labels. You might choose to eat Brazil nuts, say, and I might not or vice versa but at least we would have an informed choice.
My take is that the huge wrong perpetrated now is the coverup of data so that members of the public cannot make their own decisions about risks and tradeoffs.
