USDA'S FOOD IRRADIATION PROMOTION

http://www.citizen.org/documents/minnesotareport.pdf

A USDA program billed to educate schools, parents and children on

food irradiation was actually designed to promote irradiation and

convince school districts to serve irradiated meat according to a

new report by Public Citizen. The public interest group's study,

" The Plan of Ten Thousand Mistakes: Minnesota's Misguided Food

Irradiation Education Project, " points out the project's " numerous

flaws, including questionable survey research techniques, failure

to provide balanced information, the withdrawal of one of the three

school districts, dissemination of inaccurate information, and

failure to translate material for non-English-speaking students and

parents. " Of particular concern is that nearly half of the pilot

project's " partners " have ties to Sure Beam, a major food

irradiation company, Public Citizen reports.
