| Health Canada wants to expand Food Irradiation - Ignores Serious Risks On November 23, 2002, Health Canada posted proposed new regulations to extend the use of food irradiation in Canada to include ground beef, poultry, shrimp and prawns, and mangoes.Food irradiation exposes foods to gamma radiation in order to increase storage life, allowing importers and distributors to ship foods further and store them longer. However, contrary to the conclusions of Health Canada, many believe that there are serious risks and drawbacks to the use of this technology. (Sierra Club of Canada web link) |
