美国被认为是世界上食品供应最安全的国家之一 ,但每年仍有上百万人由于食物污染而患病 ,死亡人数多达 50 0 0人。美国农业部估计每年用于食品污染所致疾病的医疗费和食品损失费多达 3 70亿美元。目前可用辐照食品的方法减少或消除引起食品损坏的微生物以减少或消除食品污染。
The United States is considered one of the safest countries in the world in terms of food supply, but millions of people still suffer from food contamination every year, killing as many as 500 people. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that as much as $ 37 billion a year is spent on medical expenses and food losses for diseases caused by food contamination. Currently available methods of irradiating food reduce or eliminate microorganisms that cause food damage to reduce or eliminate food contamination.
