RE: Food Irradiation Symbol



Just a thought, but shouldn't the markings for irradiated food be similar in size and prominence to kosher food markings?  Or dietetic food markings (no salt, no sugar)?  Etc?

... The main thing to keep in mind is that the radura (and the required text) is for  
consumer information, and is NOT a warning.  Warning means there is 
something of danger or evil or a hazard involved. Because the radura 
looks similar to other warning symbols (biohazard, trefoil, the EPA), 
some of the people involved in developing food irradiation would rather 
not have it used. Right now it does not have to be more prominent than 
other consumer information.  ...
