Irradiation Free Shopper's Guide

guide In August 2005 FI Watch sent out thousands of surveys to food producers all over Australia to find out what their irradiation practices are. In early 2006 we launched our "Irradiation-free Food Guide" for consumers.

Based on the popular Greenpeace True Foods Guide, our guide helps food consumers make better informed decisions about the foods they eat.

Write to your representatives

Write to the Federal Minister for Health and Aging asking that the Federal Government support the Senate motion passed on August 14, 2003 raising concerns about food irradiation and calling for more research. Ask for the removal of existing approvals for irradiated foods, therapeutic goods and products including animal food.
