E-coli is something Americans only used to worry about in their meat, but it's now showing up in salad greens. It can be fatal.
Would you eat irradiated fruits and vegetables?
Modern irradiation technology has nothing to do with anything nuclear or radioactive. In fact it's more accurate to call it "electronic pasteurization" — food enters a machine and then passes under accelerated electrons. It all takes about two seconds and the bacteria are killed.
