- Yep, this is totally a stupid idea. Irradiating food even for a second changes the composition of it and renders it unrecognizable to your body; it is therefore treated like a toxin.
You''d be far better off to buy organic produce, and to wash whatever you buy well. If you spray your produce with diluted vinegar or hydrogen peroxide then rinse, this helps remove a lot of germs. - Reply to this comment
- GREAT! Now, we get to buy a bunch of lifeless, strange tasting food that no longer has any nutrients in it!?
GEEZ!
Anybody get the feeling U.S.govt officials and appointees don''t have the best interest of the nation in mind when they do STUPID things like this?!
How about hiring a few more inspectors instead? - Reply to this comment
- Radiation kills nutrients in the food. Period.

- It is so clear corporate news does no research on stories like this.
What about people like me who recovered and healed from severe illness by finding out what is being done to our food and learning how to eat what isnt''t tainted. Radiation is just another assault. It kills nutrients in the food, not just bad bacteria. Dangerous foods can usually be traced to high-volume corporate mono-farms where the natural ecosystem is in ruins. We are killing the variety that keeps food safe.
Irradiation is actually a great idea for yet more corporate profit--the pharmaceuticals can drug more profusely all the people who can''t figure out why they can''t stay healthy with normal food.
Good job FDA! Keep on pumping out commercials that make every known side-effect (like death) sound like the latest jingle. Keep coming up with "solutions" that don''t handle the real issues: corporate greed that exists to keep people sick for profit. - Reply to this comment

- Does the irradiation process harm food? Only because microwaving vegetables will ruin its nutrient content... of course, I am comparing apples and oranges...

- Yup .. lets irradiate food to kill off the bacteria rather than making the mega-farms supply porta-potties and potty breaks to their illegal workers

- This is great! Now I can eat my salad while basking in the warm radiant glow of my lettuce. Night time dining just became easier!

- "U.S consumers worried about salad safety may soon be able to buy fresh spinach and iceberg lettuce treated with just enough radiation to kill E. coli and a few other germs".
Will it be enough radiation to kill PEOPLE too?? Or do we get to discover the answer to that one over the next few decades? - Reply to this comment
- Why couldn''t we have market choice for what foods we eat? If you want it washed without radiation, buy it. If you prefer irradiated, buy it. If you want to grow your own, do it.
Why do we have to force one thing on everyone? Why are we prohibited from buying food prepared the way we want? Why do other people think they can force their system of values on their neighbors?
Why is this country so afraid of freedom and enamored with Fascism? - Reply to this comment
- The FDA that only cares about corporate profit and not the health of the American public is killing the enzymes of these leafy greens like that did with nuts and seeds. The harm they do including approving deadly pharmaceuticals is criminal.

- I guess it''s a reminder to look at the positive - once the American people have finally gotten the nuclear war that they seem to be pushing for with Russia, the world will then be free of E-coli and Listeria! Hurray!

- Franken-food, just what we need. Let''s keep it looking like it''s still fresh; the consumer will never know, so we won''t tell.
