1986–1988 radioactive milk distribution in Mexico

Between 1986 and 1988, thousands of tons of radioactive milk were distributed in Mexico by the Compañía Nacional de Subsistencias Populares (CONASUPO), the state-owned agency responsible for food supply and security in the country. The powdered milk had been purchased from the Irish Dairy Board (IDB), whose farmland and livestock had been affected by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
