§ 18757 Radiation In Livestock Products
This law says that a meat or egg product is considered unsafe if it was purposely exposed to radiation, unless that radiation use follows a federal rule or exemption.
A farmer uses a machine that gives chicken meat a small dose of radiation to kill germs, but the machine isn’t approved by the federal rules.
Because the radiation wasn’t done according to the federal exemption, the chicken is treated as adulterated under this law, so it can’t be sold.
