First article from Indonesia acknowledging the new case of Cesium-137 contamination, in spices. It appears they have not yet started the investigation to trace exactly how those spices got contaminated. (800km away from the shrimp). (best case is they have shared radioactive shipping containers from the same scrap metal, worse case is there's more Cs-137 floating around Indonesia undetected).

Bara Khrisna Hasibuan, an expert staffer at the Office of Coordinating Food Minister, confirmed that the task force for handling the hazards of Cs-137 radionuclide radiation, which operates under the ministry, had received the FDA'’s report.

“We are conducting an investigation into the matter,” Bara told The Jakarta Post on Sunday, saying the probe involved representatives from the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (Bapeten), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and the National Police.

“We are trying to trace the source of contamination of the cloves, just as we have done with an investigation into shrimp products [previously flagged by the FDA as also contaminated with Cs-137],” he added.
