Rockville, MD 20857 Dear Food and Drug Administration, Dockets Management Branch, I want irradiated foods to be clearly and conspicuously labeled. I am not the only individual who supports this view. Please do not alter the current sensible label.
Informed choice is part of a free-market economy.
Some shoppers want to purchase irradiated foods because they want foods with lower pathogen risks. Other shoppers may avoid irradiated foods because of changes in taste, smell, texture, or nutrition, or for other reasons. FDA should not become an obstacle to prevent consumers from making those choices by placing confusing new labels on irradiated food. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
