- samwillis 4y agoWhile it would work and (almost certainly) be safe, I think public perception of irradiation is so low it would damage sales.

The UK for example allows it but in 2018-19 no irradiated food was sold. https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2021/03/eu-food-irradiation-report-shows-continued-decline/ https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2021/03/eu-food-irradiation-r...
