Quotable Quotes: Source of Article: Food Irradiation Update (November 2008) "In the name of common sense, the whole nation needs to get on
with the (irradiation) program, with the prime mover being USDA's Food Safety
and Inspection Service. Perhaps it is time for all citizens, not just readers
of BEEF, to lobby that organization for a call to action." Albert Koltveit,
DVM, MS; Port “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” Marie Curie, Polish
Nobel Prize-winning chemist (1867-1934). "Now that the USDA has approved irradiation of spinach, consumers
will realize this is a safe and effective means of killing the bacteria that
may cause E. coli,” he said. “And adopting it will add another level of
safety to an already extremely safe product. We’re working with area
producers to address any logistical or perceptual issues they may have about
this." Dr. Larry Stein, AgriLife
Extension horticulturist at the Uvalde center, Texas A&M University |
