ingredient?

Dick, the answer is no.  Testing has shown that irradiation does not
interfere with the anti bacterial properties of these honeys.

It is irradiated as it is used in a topical way and we all know that honey
can contain bacteria.  The bacteria cannot reproduce in the honey but give
it somewhere where it can, such as a leg ulcer, then  it will.  The same
situation as putting honey in yoghurt.  If it contains bacteria then they
will multiply in the yoghurt.
