Now I'd pack my bags for another trip if irradiated food was available in Morocco and other parts of this wormy world. But since I have some Scottish blood, I question the cost of food irradiation. I couldn't find a specific figure, but estimates range from a few cents to 20c a pound. As technology progresses, costs will come down. Good hygiene must still be practised by consumers.
Food is irradiated after packaging, so leaves the manufacturer free of bacteria.
But if you or other food handlers have contaminated hands, it could be Mexico or Morocco all over again. And failure to wash hands is one of the most common ways of transmitting infection. Click Here to make suggestions, comments about C-Health.
