Let the USDA know you do not support irradiation.

Last spring, USDA officials said they were considering a change in how the agency tests meat for dangerous pathogens like E. coli.  This was welcomed news after some of the largest meat recalls in history.  But just a few months later, agency officials were backing off this plan. Instead, the meat industry wants to find a new use for a failed technology: irradiation.

Consumers need USDA to do more testing for contamination in meat plants, not let the meat industry try to push a quick fix that causes more problems than it solves.

Tell USDA you don't want more irradiation!
