Please review this matter, and contact me with your ideas. Thank you for your time. It is an outrage that the government would even consider taking away our right to know if the food we buy in a supermarket or grocery store has been treated with radiation. It is bad enough that we have no way of knowing whether the food we eat in restaurants, school cafeterias, hospitals or anywhere prepared foods are served, has been treated with irradiation. Eliminating or weakening labeling requirements would add insult to injury.
Food products undergo chemical changes after exposure to radiation.
These cosmetic and nutritional changes in foods warrant disclosure on a prominent place on the package. In addition, food that is not packaged should be accompanied by a poster in plain view of where it is displayed for sale. Labels are required by law to be truthful and not misleading to the customer. Only clear, honest and permanent labeling is acceptable for irradiated food. Most American consumers share my views of irradiated food.
