Cayenne pepper The British Position

[Guest guest]

British readers and possibly other EU readers as well are in a different

position concerning irradiation of spices. The fact they have been

irradiated must be noted on the packaging. In a survey in 2002 only one

supplier was found to be breaking this law. Very few companies are

irradiating spices. The spices are probably not organic, but that is

another point.

 

This information was supplied today by the specialist at the Foods

Standards Agency.
