Ensuring the safety of the food supply is a pertinent part of the food chain. Research with irradiation has led to improved safety at the pre-consumer part of the chain.
Iowa State University animal science Professor Dennis Olson has been studying irradiation of meat and other foods for more than 15 years. He directs Iowa State's Linear Accelerator Facility, which is one of only two commercial-sized irradiation facilities for food research and demonstration on a U.S. university campus.
