in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Federal food-adulteration and food-additive rules do not require a special radiation warning label. Any radiation disclosure just needs to be part of the normal ingredient list, not more prominent. A "radiation disclosure statement" is a written notice that food was intentionally irradiated.

(a) Nothing in section 321(n) (misbranding), 343(a) (misleading labeling), or 348 (food additives) of this title requires food labels to carry a separate written radiation disclosure that is more prominent than the required ingredient list under section 343(i)(2). In other words, a radiation notice can be included as part of the normal ingredient declaration; it does not need special, bigger, or separate treatment. (b) In this section, a "radiation disclosure statement" means a written statement telling people that a food was intentionally exposed to radiation.
