REVIEW OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY WHOLESOMENESS OF IRRADIATED FOOD PROGRAM (1955-1966)

Abstract
The conclusions arrived at were that: (a) Foods irradiated with gamma rays or 10-MeV electrons to 5.6 Mrads are as wholesome as non-irradiated foods; (b) In general, vitamin losses in irradiation processing are comparable to losses in thermal processing; (c) There is no detectable induced radioactivity in foods irradiated with 60Co or with 10-MeV electrons; (d) Irradiated foods are, in general, as acceptable as non-irradiated foods.
