Well the article did not seem critical of the irradiation process at all. Maybe the title is a bit click baity ? It is all about shipping mangoes by sea rather than by air. I'm a bit worried about that though. My local Pakistani mango dealer (no Indian around here, but IMO Honey Mango is a good alternative) was explaining me some rather unappealing process that they were experimenting to slow down the ripening process, like injecting stuff in the mango to make it stronger with a better shelf life. Also maybe it is because the EU laws are different, but mangoes from Pakistan are not always irradiated, instead they are sprayed with boiling water, which make their skin ripple a bit but otherwise does not seem to affect the flavour too much. Well at least that's how they are in the beginning or end of the season. edit: other commenters have more accurate info about EU, and Pakistani mangoes.
