Reduction of some vitamins Macronutrients conserved Minerals unaffected Overall – no adverse impact on diet as a
whole

Solutions - Answering Opponents Concerns
FDA approval Toxicological hazard
WHO data considered Repeated review of available data Finding of no toxicological hazard
Included mutagenic potential Included teratogenic potential

Solutions - Answering Opponents Concerns
FDA approval Microbiological hazard
Special emphasis on Clostridium botulinum
Spoilage organisms compete with pathogens
Food obviously “spoiled” before risk Finding of no microbiological hazard

Barriers to Use – Lack of Consumer Demand
Influence by opponents Opponents very vocal and messages
are alarming Irradiation minimally utilized
Industry awaits consumer demand Investment (e.g. facilities, promotion)

Intervention throughout continuum Irradiation is long tested and
underutilized On balance…benefits far outweigh
risk Consumer demand is imperative
