Home » Public Citizen files complaint against irradiated meat company
Consumer watchdog Public Citizen has filed a false advertising complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleging that the web site of Huisken Meats Inc. tells consumers that its ground beef products have been electronically pasteurized instead of irradiated.
The Chandler, Minn.-based Huisken was one of the nation's first producers of irradiated ground beef. Its is also one of the largest, with its pre-packaged patties reportedly available in 1,000 stores in 14 states.
