China Marine Food affirms fish source to be radiation free

China Marine Food Group Limited on Friday (Mar 18) assured its supplies of fish and seafood are safe from possible radiation contamination as they come from the Taiwan Strait, which is located between Taiwan and China's Fujian province.

This area maintains a separate ocean current from those of the East Japan Sea, said Pengfei Liu, CEO and chairman of China Marine, the manufacturer of Mingxiang® seafood-based snack foods, "Hi-Power" marine algae-based beverages and a distributor of frozen marine catch.

"According to the nuclear radiation-monitoring station in Shanghai, large-scale and long-distance radiation spread is unlikely as the primary containment vessel and fuel rods in the nuclear plant in Japan were not damaged," Liu said.

"Furthermore, there has been no disruption in the buying pattern of our customers and we do not anticipate one will occur," he added.
