How can irradiated foods be identified?
The FDA requires that irradiated foods bear the international symbol for irradiation. Look for the Radura symbol along with the statement “Treated with radiation” or “Treated by irradiation” on the food label.
What is the symbol for irradiated food?
Yes. The "Radura" logo (usually a green symbol that resembles a plant inside a circle whose top half is dashed lines) must be on the label of packages of product where the entire content was irradiated, as well as the phrase "treated by irradiation" (or "with radiation").
