I can't see how that could be done (eg by irradiation) without breaking

It is legal to irradiate fruit (including tomatoes) in the UK, or import
it with suitable paperwork, but it would have to be labelled as such,
which I've never noticed.


Thanks. My mistake. I've never noticed any food labelled as irradiated,
so assumed it was not approved.
