I was in Munich months after the disaster. A great deal of uncertainty, in the public.
I remember one particularly scary item: Wild mushrooms from Eastern Europe, e.g. Poland.
Only, you didn't have to go that far to have real risk. At that time, some measurements had mushrooms concentrating relevant radioactive isotopes by circa 400 times, IIRC.
Weather patterns and geography created particular hot spots in the more immediate area. For some reason, the Tirol sticks in my mind, for one.
