Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated


Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated?
Hi, I would like to know if raw, organic meat from a health food store is irradiated as I recently have learned that it sometimes is. Can you give me a reliable source? Thanks.

Certified organic meat should never be irradiated as that would be against the USDA regulations that expressly ban irradiation of organic meats (and all other organic foods). Not certified organic meat not bought direct from the farmer likely is irradiated To be really safe buy your meats direct from the farmer http://www.localharvest.org http://www.eatwild.org more information on irradiation in meats and organic foods. http://www.organicconsumers.org http://www.acresusa.com check out the book Zapped by Winona Hauter which is all about this subject. http://www.fwwatch.org/blog/topics/Zapped
