This has been going on for decades with very little incident. Most people don't know about it.
The process kills bacteria which would otherwise grow rapidly in the ground meat because of the large surface area and contact with the air.
This didn't arise in the past because people either had freshly ground beef done by the butcher, or did it themselves at home. It is probably a good thing that most people don't know much about how food is processed in the current industrialized prepared food sector, they stop eating. Policies not Politics ---- Daily Landscape
Fortunately, I went veggie years ago.
I do try to persuade people not to poison themselves, but, as they say, good luck with that.

I'm sure Bushco's FDA will let us know the moment they discover any problems! :/
Americans are blatantly, astonishingly unhealthy. I mean you can SEE it. Too many causes to sort out.
Some things you don't have to try out to know you don't want to do them. Irradiation is one of them. The Fates are kind.
The truth is I don't believe this. Not because killing bacteria is bad, but because I do not trust the people managing the operations and because I know with certainty I cannot trust the government to monitor it. I write from the US so you know what I am saying is true.
When someone seeks to introduce novel and dangerous proceedures, I believe the burden of proof of safety is on them, not the victims.
I know this differs from the conventional view that it is the victims' job to prove how they have been killed. The Fates are kind.
