Radioactive food can become a threat when material released during a nuclear accident reaches farmland, animal feed, rivers, oceans and the wider food supply.

This documentary examines five historic accidents—Windscale, Three Mile Island, Kyshtym, Fukushima Daiichi and Chernobyl—and their impact on food safety, environmental monitoring and public perception.

Discover how iodine-131, cesium-137 and strontium-90 can move through food chains; why milk became an essential warning system after nuclear fallout; and how governments responded with food testing, restrictions and long-term monitoring.
