Résumé

An extensive review of scientific studies on food safety indicates that irradiation is a safe and effective solution to food contamination by harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. It will bring public health benefits to solid foods, e.g. meat, poultry, seafood, spices, fruits and vegetables, in the same manner as pasteurization has effectively done for milk and fruit juices, in the past century. The brochure gives recommendations and it answers several questions such as: What is food irradiation? How does food irradiation work? What are the benefits? How widespread is foodborne illness? What are consumers' reactions? How is food irradiation regulated? Is food irradiation safe? Is irradiation the answer for food safety?
