“Organic” “Live” food products fall under a category that ships without irradiation (x-ray or otherwise), and is actually against federal law to do so. Our packaging actually states:
Do Not Irradiate
Organic Food
U.S. Federal Law, Volume 65, Section 205-105(1) Prohibits “irradiation” of organic products:
Section 205.661(g)(1) states that Civil Penalties of up to $10,000 per violation may apply
In the rare occasion (it does occasionally happen however):
The package is seized, a package is physically opened from the box, and a physical inspection is conducted (can include samples being tested, etc.). It’s more intrusive, but the shipment and product will keep its FULL integrity.
It is not often this happens – but when this occurs, there is (very) clear documentation that the packaged was searched.
This has happened on inbound shipment, and we may lose a 30 lb. bag of Camu Camu for example, but that loss is acceptable to us if it means NOT irradiating an entire pallet or container (and destroying the integrity of its contents!).
Also keep in mind, FedEx and/or Customs would rather physically open a package rather than irradiate: they get a better look at the contents, and can actually test a sample in detail.
