Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee reported: 1) Committee met on Tuesday, March 13th, to discuss the sale of irradiated foods in North Olmsted. Irradiated foods means any food that is treated with ionizing radiation from radioactive sources such as X-rays or electronic beams. Purpose of this treatment is to prolong the shelf life of products by destroying the micro-organisms that cause decay. The food does undergo a chemical change which can produce free radicals that can cause mutations and cancer. It also causes destruction of essential nutrients and the creation of new chemicals in the food. Committee feels irradiated food should not be made available until it has been tested and proven safe; will be requesting legislation in regard to this.
