Aishwarya, I appreciate all your input . You might be interested in this news from THE FOOD ACTIVIST, a volunteer group,Consumers United for Food Safety ( CUFFS) PO Box 22928 Seattle, WA 98122. Phone- (425) 747-2659. In the latest issue they report that..." in a "sneak attack" on the consumer right to know, a one sentence provision was added to the FDA reform bill and passed through both the House and Senate, which would reduce the size of labels for irradiated foods to "no larger than ingredients."Irradiation proponents argued that anything larger would imply a warning to consumers.President Clinton is expected to sign the bill.These "additions" to the FDA reform bill were tagged on without much publicty or debate, giving the public no time to write or lobby their Congress person." They continue.."While the original FDA ruling stated that the labeling of irradiated foods must be "prominent and conspicious" and a radura logo must be present, under the so-called reform bill, the logo would be optional.Its not at all clear how bulk irradiated fruits and vegetables would be labled with "ingredient size" print.The original FDA regulations called for counter signs, cards, or other conspicuous devices." "At a time when the FDA is pushing for the labeling of unpasteurized juices and imported fruit, its sad that consumers will have to squint to find irradition labels. A September 1997 poll by CBS News indicated that 77% of American consumers are against irradiation and would like to avoid irradiated foods. The industry solution: Shrink the label."
