Good post Jeffrey! I have seen packaged poultry for sale in grocery stores throughout southern Florida that carry the irradiated food label. VIFL, within the last month, reached an agreement with a major food distributor in central Florida to distribute the grocer's product. The irradiation food label is fairly nondescript, meaning to the nonobservant consumer, it is something that can be easily overlooked. I had the opportunity to see samples of the label one month prior to their use and agree they are nondescript in nature. The consumer's attention is not immediately drawn to the unique symbol. It is different from the tri-foil commonly associated with nuclear energy. What does this mean? Companies that monitor sales of irradiated poultry are able to more easily use the data as a means to show consumer satisfaction and consumer willingness to purchase this type of product. The end result is data that is misleading. Consumers are still highly skepticle of irradiation and continue to show resistance in purchasing this type of product. With USDA approval of irradiation and a growing number of grocers who are willing to carry an irradiated meat product one would think VIFL's stock would be climbing....well it isn't. A senior manager at VIFL thought the stock would take off last month once the poultry product hit the food market. It didn't help VIFL and to date they are only operating at 5% plant capacity...that's correct 5%. In my opinion these numbers are not going to change drastically in the next few years. Cyclopss, in the next 6 to 8 months (a conservative estimate), will be able to provide a USDA approved and competitive alternative to irradiation and chlorination. Wouldn't it be nice to see OZON jump to 14 following USDA approval as VIFL did months ago? You bet. Here's to another good day in the market. Regards, Captain Nemo
