Now spinach and iceberg lettuce can be treated with enough radiation to kill bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. The FDA issued food-irradiation in the wake of recent salmonella and E. coli outbreaks, such as the 2006 E. coli outbreak that pulled fresh spinach off store shelves. The rule -- which only applies to spinach and iceberg lettuce -- doesn't require irradiation. It just permits it.

They tried to bring in an irradiation processing plant here in 1994 to kill the fruit flies so we could import the local fruit. Of course they scared everyone blue with radiation poising tactic. Now we sit here every day with rotting fruit unable to share with the world. US AG won't allow it to leave because of fruit flies. Yes, experts were brought in to refute, but it did no good.
