In light of what you now know, what is your opinion concerning irradiated food? Would you prefer to purchase and consume irradiated or non-irradiated food, or are you indifferent? Why?
Yes , I would purchase and consume irradiated food because irradiated foods are safe. Irradiation makes meat and poultry safer by reducing the numbers of harmful bacteria and parasites.
Food irradiation does not make foods radioactive. The radiant energy passes through the food. The food itself never contacts the source of the radiant energy. Irradiated foods are wholesome and nutritious. Nutrient losses caused by irradiation are less than or about the same as losses caused by cooking and freezing.
