Radioactive wild boar meat in Austria supermarkets: NGO

In the German regions of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg, all wild boars that are killed must be tested for radioactivity, and past results have already shown concentrations over 10,000 Bq/kg, Global 2000 noted, calling for similarly regular tests in Austria.  Instead, the national Health and Food Safety (AGES) was "actively disinforming" the population by saying that levels of radioactivity in game were too low to have an impact on one's health.  Austria, where wild boar meat is commonly found on restaurant menus and in supermarkets, voted against nuclear power in a referendum in 1978 and has since campaigned strongly against it.  link
