Article Abstract:

Irradiation can be a valuable weapon in the battle to protect consumers from food-borne disease. It has been shown to be harmless to health and to cut bacterial contamination. Its effectiveness has been recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration, which has approved its use for pork, lamb and beef products. Irradiation is already widely used for grains, fruit, spices and vegetables. However, irradiating food incorrectly can lead to an unpleasant texture and taste, and irradiation does not kill viruses.
