"electronically pasteurized" or "cold pasteurized," which is misleading.
For years, the irradiation industry has had a problem convincing consumers to buy irradiated food. The industry's solution? Don't tell them it's irradiated.
Right now, food treated with ionizing radiation must be labeled as "Treated with irradiation" or "Treated by radiation." The irradiation industry wants to label these foods as "electronically pasteurized" or "cold pasteurized," which is misleading.
Studies have shown irradiation depletes the nutritional content of food and leaves behind chemical byproducts that can lead to promotion of cancer growth and genetic damage. Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906
