New FDA proposal - Removing irradiation warning on produce

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

Thought there might be interest on this list in taking action to head off the

latest FDA action. They are proposing that irradiated foods not be labelled. A

better proposal would be to require (as in Japan) that the food be grown and

transported in ways that prevent harmful bacteria, rather than trying to kill

them later. There's a reasonable discussion of the issues in this article.
