RULE REQUIRING PASTEURIZATION OF RAW ALMONDS GOES
INTO EFFECT Despite massive opposition from almond producers, retailers
and organic consumers, the USDA has implemented its ruling to require that raw
almonds be pasteurized. The rule went into effect on September 1st, and since
then, all retail outlets have been forced to remove truly raw almonds from store
shelves. Consumers will be misled by this action as there will still be almonds
on store shelves labeled as "raw", but they will actually be pasteurized. One of
the FDA-recommended pasteurization methods requires the use of propylene oxide,
which is classified as a "possible human carcinogen" by the International Agency
for Research on Cancer and is banned in Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
Since the decision about the rule was made, Secretary of Agriculture, Mike
Johanns, has stepped down. He is temporarily replaced by Chuck Conner. This may
provide a new opportunity for reversal. Please contact Conner today to ask that
the rule be suspended for 6 months while the public comment period is re-opened:
