Mutation (or radiation) breeding is the process of exposing plants and seeds to radiation to cause random mutations. \u0003The mutated plants that show desirable attributes \u0003can then be reproduced, creating a mutant variety from the original stock. Mutation breeding \u0003is an agricultural technology that has proliferated globally since the end of World War II. For over 60 years, scientists on six continents have been exposing plants and seeds to radiation and chemicals, in order \u0003to induce mutations.<\/p>\n

More than 2,500 mutant crop\u00a0varieties have been registered with the United \u0003Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Commercially-released varieties can be found in the database of Mutation-Enhanced Technologies for Agriculture (META). These organisms populate our human food systems and sit anonymously on our supermarket shelves. Cobalt 60 Sauce features five radiation-bred ingredients: Rio Red Grapefruit, Milns Golden Promise Barley, Todd\u2019s Mitcham Peppermint, Calrose 76 Rice and Soy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
