Thompson, B. M.; Schielack, J. F.; Vestal, T. A. – Journal of Food Science Education, 2004
Decades of research have provided evidence that food irradiation is a safe technology that can decrease the incidence of foodborne diseases; however, adoption of this technology has been slow. The purpose of our study was to qualitatively explore the effectiveness of various components of a professional development training on family and consumer…
