This DVD training program covers the following:

• History and details of the irradiation process
• Effects of irradiation on treated products
• Consumer concerns and acceptance trends

Although our astronauts’ food has been irradiated since the beginning of the space program, it’s new to most consumers.

Some of the issues addressed in this videotape are:

• Why are we using irradiation?
• On what foods is it used?
• Is it safe?
• How will I know if I’m purchasing irradiated food?

Other important concerns are covered in this educational program, such as how food irradiation affects food cost, nutritional value and taste, and more.

Interviews with prominent officials in the food industry, in food science and research, and from irradiation regulatory agencies (such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission) add insight into this food safety procedure.
