THE BINGO THEME BY CDC. “Just as for the pasteurization of milk, it will be most effective when irradiation is coupled to careful sanitation programs. Consumer confidence will depend on making food clean first, and then using irradiation or pasteurization to make it safe.” Not a substitute for good farming hygiene practices. Bingo.
