- Created in 1966 by the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Army Pictorial Center, "Farm Fresh to You" describes preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables by radiation pasteurization, presenting evidence that spoilage can be reduced through use of nuclear energy. Using animation to show what happens during exposure, explains process of exposing foods to radiation.
Food irradiation as shown in the film is the process of exposing foodstuffs to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is energy that can be transmitted without direct contact (radiation) capable of freeing electrons from their atomic bonds (ionization) in the targeted food. This treatment is used to preserve food, reduce the risk of food borne illness, prevent the spread of invasive pests, and delay or eliminate sprouting or ripening. Irradiated food does not become radioactive. The radiation can be emitted by a radioactive substance or generated electrically.
Irradiation is also used for non-food applications, such as medical devices.
Although consumer perception of foods treated with irradiation is more negative than those processed by other means, a large amount of independent research has confirmed irradiation to be safe. One family of chemicals is uniquely formed by irradiation, and this product is nontoxic. When irradiating food, all other chemicals occur in a lower or comparable frequency to other food processing techniques.
Food irradiation is permitted by over 60 countries, with about 500,000 metric tons of food annually processed worldwide. The regulations that dictate how food is to be irradiated, as well as the food allowed to be irradiated, vary greatly from country to country. In Austria, Germany, and many other countries of the European Union only dried herbs, spices, and seasonings can be processed with irradiation and only at a specific dose, while in Brazil all foods are allowed at any dose
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the use of low-level irradiation as an alternative treatment to pesticides for fruits and vegetables that are considered hosts to a number of insect pests, including fruit flies and seed weevils. Under bilateral agreements that allows less-developed countries to earn income through food exports agreements are made to allow them to irradiate fruits and vegetables at low doses to kill insects, so that the food can avoid quarantine.

It would be nice to have an up-to-date scientific view of radiation-pasturisation as it is used in 2016. Will have to see what Wikipedia says 😯Thanks for this historical film from the good old 1960's
I thought the same then I looked in the info section. 😅
So the Japanese beetle, lantern fly, and this new flying death spider survived said radiation pasteurization?!
she looks to young to be married to a guy that looks that old . oh well that the 60,s for you.
She stays youthful through modern living
@@tjlovesrachel actually she’s a robot
Her secret is that irradiated fruit! 😀
She's the same age, he liked the fruit so much he had her irradiated too
The production was filmed in the town of Stepford.
I remember back in the early to mid-fifties that there was article in the then Baltimore Evening Sun about an experiment of rats being fed of diet of irradiated food in which the effects on the well-being of the ratts were shockingly horrific. Other thanspices, this experiment needs to be repeated!
A system has been developed but public opinion says no …. radiation bad
