Abstract: The proposed collection of information is to (1) evaluate whether and under what conditions the current labeling requirement is an obstacle to consumer acceptance of irradiated foods, and (2) determine how other proposed versions of the disclosure statement might have different effects on consumer acceptance. The information will be used by FDA to determine if the existing requirements should be changed and how they should be changed and to fulfill FDA's commitment to Congress to finalize any regulatory changes by March 2002.
