Radiation Found in Milk - Spokane, WA

SPOKANE - Minimal but still acceptable levels of radiation have been detected in Spokane-area milk, federal health and safety regulators confirmed today.

The Environmental Protection Agency performed the tests and confirmed milk sold in the county is safe to drink.

A sample taken Friday detected levels of radioactive Iodine-131 that were 5,000 times below levels that would cause concern from the federal Food and Drug Administration, according to a Gov. Chris Gregoire spokesperson.
