(Andrew Gabriel) spake thusly in uk.d-i-y:


Whilst this is allowed in some countries, it is illegal in others.
It is legal in the UK for a few classes of food, but not done because
all the supermarkets told their suppliers that if they did any food
irradiation (even for other customers or export), the supermarkets
would not buy any of their products.

I was unaware of this. That level of ignorance is scary. Supermarkets
prefer their customers to die. /Nice/.

Customers don't want irradiated food.
In the UK we don't need irradiated food.
The stuff we get is fresh and it doesn't need to keep for weeks while losing
all its vitamins.
