An employee of Japan's restaurant chain operator Zensho Co conducts a radiation check on a piece of domestic beef at its central research center in Kawasaki, near Tokyo July 27, 2011. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said on July 19 that the government will boost its inspections for contamination by testing all beef cattle from evacuation areas around the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant for radiation as well as inspecting all farms in the prefecture. Zensho is conducting radiation checks on all of its domestic beef, shipped from 14 prefectures to ensure food safety. The company has been conducting checks from July 20, with no reported case of radiation contaminated beef, according to the company spokesperson. REUTERS/Yuriko Nakao (JAPAN - Tags: POLITICS FOOD)
