Radioactive contamination has been found in some food products from the Fukushima prefecture, Japanese officials say.

The iodine was found in products - reported to be milk and spinach - tested between 16 and 18 March and could be harmful to human health if ingested, the officials said.

International nuclear experts at the IAEA say that, although radioactive iodine has a short half-life of about eight days, there is a short-term risk to human health if it is ingested, and it can cause damage to the thyroid.
