•New ISO Standard makes food irradiation safer: ISO 14470:2011 Food irradiation – Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of the process of irradiation using
ionizing radiation for the treatment of food provides state-of-the-art requirements for food irradiation, commonly used to improve quality and safety in food
processing. ISO 14470 will benefit manufacturers, irradiation operators, regulators, customers, and, ultimately,
consumers. Read more. Order ISO 14470 (hard copy) from www.standards.co.nz.
