Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards.
For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional

additives.

What exactly is wrong with ionizing radiation? It would seem to be
the safest and least destructive way to ensure that food does not
contain toxin-producing bacteria.


It is my understanding that ionizing radiation negatively charges
particles in a way that can be harmful to living things that come into
contact with them. Same as the ionizing air filters, if I understand it
correctly, that the EPA says damages healthy lungs.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
