Action Alert:
Act now to keep irradiated fruit out of New Zealand.


Turners & Growers appear determined to saddle New Zealand consumers with nuked fruit from Australia. They are investing millions of dollars in this unsafe technology, which consumers worldwide are rejecting, and scientist are concerned about.

The first fruit destined for New Zealand are mangoes. Scientists have discovered that when they are irradiated, carcinogenic compounds called 2-ACBs (2-a) are formed. But FSANZ is not convinced this matters. We are.

Write or email Turners & Growers and tell them we don't want their irradiated food and to keep it out of New Zealand.

Suggested format for letter:

To the management of Turners and Growers:

I am deeply concerned by Turners and Growers intention to develop and use irradiation technology on produce destined for the NZ market.

As a consumer I do not want this unsafe technology to be used and I will actively boycott produce that has been irradiated.

Please consider the international experience - which has proved irradiation to be an unsafe practice - and has seen the rejection of produce by consumers.

Don't make the same mistake.
