Ionising radiation treatment of foodstuffs.

Ionising radiation treatment of foodstuffs is an actual subject in the European Community's Member States, particularly in Italy, thanks to the approval of a national legislation (Decree n. 94 of January 30, 2001) implementing the European Directives 1999/2/CE and 1999/3/CE on the approximation of the laws of the Member States. Consequently, starting from March 20, 2001, irradiated food on the Italian markets must comply with the previous mentioned directives. Member States are requested to implement methods to detect treatment with ionising radiation at the product marketing stage. The Italian Decree n. 94/2001 gives the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (the Italian National Institute of Health) the duty to select detection methods to be applied on a regional scale by the competent local health bodies.
Key words: Irradiated food, Food irradiation detection, Wholesomeness of irradiated food
