Joe,



Your message is really difficult to understand.



Do you know, that "TLD" is the abbreviation for "Thermoluminescence

Dosimetry", a method to determine the dose to somebody or something from

gamma-radiation, exposing certain material to radiation. You cannot

detect food irradiation with that method, unless you expose a

TLDosemeter together with the food in order to determine the dose -

well, and then you know, that it was irradiated anyway. 



What are "associated methods"? Could you clarify?



Thermoluminescence phenomena can be used to detect irradiation of food

and other material. For various food other methods like

gas-chromatography, viscosity or various biological methods might be

applicable. There is plenty of literature on that. 



I recommend that you consult the relevant literature to find out, what

you actually want - your request for "TLD and associated methods" gives

me the impression that you do not know it. Starting the business of

finding irradiated food from scratch needs a "little" more than asking

at RADSAFE whether somebody has "experience with Analysis of Food

Irradiation using TLD and associated methods", not to talk about

becoming an accredited laboratory!
