<br /> All over our island, people have <br /> returned to the land to raise cattle, <br /> flowers, fruits, and vegetables, <br /> supplying foods for our islands and <br /> <br /> markets around the world. <br /> We need the tools to accomplish these <br /> goals! Open the door to technology and <br /> let Hawaii do its part in supplying a <br /> hungry world with healthy, safe foods. <br /> To those who ask how will we compete? <br /> the answer is with hard work, <br /> dedication, quality, and pride, and <br /> with the right tool we will not only <br /> compete, we will excel. <br /> 38 countries irradiate over 200 food <br /> items. We come in contact with many of <br /> them every day. 20 countries irradiate <br /> spice, 15 irradiate garlic, 12 irradiate <br /> herbs, 27 irradiate onion, 26 irradiate <br /> potato, including Japan. Nearly 100 <br /> surgical and medical products are <br /> irradiated. 41 consumer products as <br /> well as food packaging, bee hives and <br /> pollen, peat moss, rawhide dog toys, and <br /> tennis strings are all irradiated. <br /> Irradiation facilities in the US have <br /> remarkable safety records with not one <br /> fatality attributed to their operation. <br /> <br />
