Volunteer Activity in Fukushima
Last year November 27th, Dr. Takahata (BIOBANK researcher) and Ms. So (dietician) visited Fukushima, where the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant happened in March 2011. Mr. Inoue (Katchan) was one of our customers of the Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic® product, managing an Okonomiyaki restaurant (a Japanese pancake cooked on a hot plate with bits of meat, seafood and chopped cabbages) in Fukushima. He decided to leave Fukushima for his hometown in Hiroshima after that terrible disaster.
Yet, when he saw the tears of his local customers saying “thank you very much for the delicious Okonomiyaki,” he decided to remain in Fukushima and return the favor by cooking Okonomiyaki to the people. Since then, Mr. Inoue has been delivering hearty and healthy Okonomiyaki together with his encouragement.
Mr. Inoue does not only serve his Okonomiyaki at his restaurant, but also serves at kindergartens, nursing homes and institutions. When we realized that Mr. Inoue and BIOANK could relate to each other through strong thoughts of helping people through foods, nourishments and education, we decided to visit “Fukushima Minami Kindergarten” as volunteer.
And after a year, here we are back in the city with tons of organically-grown cabbages, brought all the way from Okayama to be cooked by Katchan, for the children waiting for his Okonomiyaki.

Sieverts (Sv) – a unit for an absorbed dose of radiation and measures the effect that dose will have on the cells of body. 1 Sievert = 1,000,000 Micro Sieverts
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are manufactured in Okayama, Japan, which is over 700 km (about 435 miles) from where the nuclear plant is located in Fukushima and has never at any time been affected by any concurrent radioactivity.
Masumi Ohhira, CEO of BIOBANK, CO. LTD., manufacturer of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics confirms there was never a concern of radioactive contamination. The paste used in the finished product that is currently being supplied to retailers was in fermentation vats three years prior to the accident. The product encapsulated after the accident has been stringently measured for radioactivity and continues to test negative.
Additionally, Dr. Ohhira’s facility has contamination meters on site that test the air daily and current levels as of September 24, 2011 were the same as they were prior to the accident, 0.089 microsieverts. This level is the same as found in the atmosphere on a normal day in Okayama. For your reference, one radiation dosage when people take an x-ray of the stomach is approximately 600 microsieverts.

Notes on Radiation: Reasons for a range of radiation values
Radiation dosage varies daily. This is influenced when radioactive substances in the air fall near the surface of the ground from rainfall. On windy days, the substances on the ground get stirred up in the air and it can affect these levels.
For example, if you were to be exposed to 0.1 micro Sv/h of radiation for one year, it will be: 0.1x24h (1day) x 365 days = 876 micro Sv/year. A safe level by any standard.
The world average of annual environmental radioactivity that is said to be emitted from natural sources is 2,400 micro Sv.
The influence of radiation from natural sources. Radioactive substances have been present in nature since before the nuclear accident. The following are the types of radiation present in nature.
- Radiation from the Earth’s interior
- Cosmic radiation
- Radioactive pollution from nuclear testing, etc.
- Radiation contained in rocks, etc. on the ground
In Okayama, Shizuoka and Osaka, the radiation values range from 0.036 to 0.0725 micro sv/h. There are a few areas in Japan where the radiation has always been more that 0.127 micro sv/h. This is due to the nature of the soil in these areas, which includes a high proportion of granite rocks. However, there have never been any health issues due to radiation levels in these areas.

Essential Formulas and Dr. Ohhira want to reassure our customers that every capsule of probiotic shipped from Japan has tested negative for any exposure to radiation before it is transported to the United States.
To further ensure the safety of the product the FDA inspection at U.S. borders is vigilant and augmented with screenings of all shipments. The air and soil around Dr. Ohhira’s factory and lab are also routinely screened and continue to test negative.
The health of our customers is our first priority and we will continue stringent oversight and review of all safety protocols as they pertain to the manufacturing and distribution of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics. For more information on radiation safety visit the FDA website.
For Immediate Release: March 23rd, 2011
Dallas – As the tragic situation unfolds in Japan, Essential Formulas Incorporated’s primary concern has been for the safety of the Japanese people as well as Dr. Ohhira’s employees and their families. We can happily report that they are all safe and out of harm’s way.
“This is an evolving situation with new information coming in rapidly, and as such we are in constant communication with Dr. Ohhira and his colleagues and will continue to monitor the situation closely,” said Michael Schoor, Essential Formulas’ chief executive officer. “In regards to the product supply chain and safety of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic® products, we want to reassure our retailers and customers that we are staying abreast of all details and relaying them as we receive them from Japan.”
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are manufactured in Okayama, Japan, which is over 700 km from the nuclear plant in Fukushima. Therefore, Dr. Ohhira’s factory has not been affected by any concurrent radioactivity. The fermented paste, which is used for the finished product that is currently being supplied to retailers, has been fermenting in vats for 3 years prior, so there is no concern of radioactive contamination. As there is sufficient stock of the finished product, there will be no disruption or delay in the delivery of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic supplements.
Additionally, Dr. Ohhira’s facility has contamination meters on site that test the air daily and current levels as of March 15, 2011 were the same as they were on March 5, 2011, 0.089 microsieverts. This level is the same as found in the atmosphere on a normal day in Okayama. For your reference, one radiation dosage when people take an X-ray of the stomach is approximately 600 microsieverts.

The JFRL has always monitored levels of cesium-134, cesium-137, and iodine, which would indicate radioactive contamination and they will continue to do so as contingent on receiving certification. All probiotic capsules we sent for analysis on March 18th, 2011 and tested negative for radioactive contamination.
When manufacturing commences for a new lot of probiotic paste, safety and viability will be the top priority and all variables will be taken into consideration, including the growing area for all the crops that go into manufacturing Dr. Ohhira’s formulations. Essential Formulas will continue to keep you apprised of any changes as they occur. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns either by phone or email.
