Lots of foods use radiation pasteurization to get rid of pathogenic non-spore forming food borne bacteria and parasitic organisms. Radiation protects the public from numerous diseases including salmonellosis, hemorrhagic diarrhea. If anything, it helps and does not create enough radiation to do damage. Long-term animal feeding studies have demonstrated that radiation pasteurized or sterilized foods are safe and nutritious for humans (Cast 1996). ...
