Evaluating Factors Explaining U.S. Consumers’ Behavioral Intentions toward Irradiated Ground Beef
1. Introduction Irradiation, “a safe, healthy, and clean technology,” is a non-chemical food processing and preservation method [1] (p. 91) developed more than 100 years ago [2]. During the energy-efficient irradiation process, ionizing radiation beams (i.e., gamma rays, electron beams, X-rays) are exposed to and sterilize food before it is packaged [1,3]. As a result, the radiation beams “eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, insects, fungi, and pests” [1] (p. 91).
