Indonesia Detects Radiation at Clove Farm

Indonesian authorities have found traces of radioactivity at a clove farm on Sumatra island, according to a government spokesperson.

The investigation was launched after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected Cesium-137 contamination in spices from Indonesia, including a sample of cloves from PT Natural Java Spice.

The government had banned the farm from selling its cloves as a preventive measure.
