Dear Bernard A. Schwetz,

To Whom It Concerns, I want irradiated foods to be
clearly labeled. "Irradiation" is a commonly understood
term that FDA should not discard for a deceptive substitute.
Keep the current labelling "Treated by Irradiation,"
instead of the proposed vague/deceptive labelling,
 "Electronically Pasteurized" or "Cold Pasteurized."
Just as consumers want label information about "dolphin-safe
tuna" or "low fat" foods, we also want clear information
on irradiated food.  

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 



Sincerely,


Eric Sundstrom
