Description

The assessment of the safety for human consumption of irradiated foodstuffs involves basically four aspects: (1) radiological safety, (2) microbiological safety, (3) nutritional adequacy, and (4) toxicological safety. Of these aspects, only toxicological safety is discussed in this article because most of the new concepts for assessing wholesomeness have been developed in the field of the toxicological investigation of irradiated foodstuffs
