Killing salmonella and E. coli on fresh produce with half the normal
food-irradiation levels

By packing produce in a Mylar bag filled with pure oxygen, Dr. Carmen
Gomes, AgriLife Research food safety engineer, and her colleagues found
they could significantly reduce the amount of radiation needed to kill
those pathogens. Reducing the amount of radiation is not so much a
safety measure as it is a way to preserve quality of the produce, she
said.
