Food that has not come into contact with radioactive substances is safe to eat: food in sealed containers (cans, bottles, boxes, etc.) and food in the refrigerator or freezer.
Wipe food containers with a damp cloth or clean towel before opening them. Also, wipe down tables and utensils with a damp cloth or clean towel before use. Wipe down pet bowls and mats. Put the cloths you used to clean the dishes and surfaces in a bag or plastic box that closes tightly. It is advisable to label them with a radiation warning label and store them out of the reach of children or pets.
Do not pick or eat food from your garden, vegetable garden, or that has been outside until you have been officially informed that it is safe to do so.
Only bottled water is safe to drink until tap water has been tested for contamination. Boiling does not get rid of radioactive substances. You should have bottled water that you have stocked up on in advance. The SES or executive authorities will inform you about the safety of tap water.
