Pesticides are more of a worry in food especially in strawberries.One of the biggest myths spread is that cannabis irradiation is safe because 'people already eat lots of irradiated food' - that statement is misleading.
Any and all foods using 'ionising irradiation' must be explicitly labelled as such - this includes gamma, beta or x-ray. This is outlined in Directive 1999/2/EC from the EU Framework Directive on Irradiated Foods - adopted into UK law.
Article 4(6) and Annex 1 require that any irradiated food or ingredient be labelled “irradiated” or “treated with ionising radiation”, even if irradiated ingredients are present only in trace amounts.
Microwave, UV, Infrared and Radio frequency treatments are all permitted without labelling.
No gamma/beta irradiated foods can be sold in the UK without explicit labelling as either "irradiated" or "treated with ionising radiation".
If you've never seen this, it's because it's not a particularly common practice.
From our X account
Yeah someone prob got mixed up with remediation than irradiation or it came from a place like canada where they do irradiate food so are we following canadas rules rather than the eu but why so different if all organic product but its ok cos they have labled it on canna packs
Could we push for non irradiated but remediated in eu and sticking with current eu laws on produce
Now heres a link to what is in some cannabis and how the industry is we have no idea what pesticide herbicide etc they use
