Fukushima Prefecture and all surrounding prefectures have been hit particularly hard by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and its aftermath of radiation exposure from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The Japanese government has halted the sale and distribution of spinach and other vegetables, as well as milk and dairy products, originating from the disaster zone. (Photo by AFLO)
