Where the packaging material is impervious to fall-out, war gases, or BW agents and these agents have not been covertly placed in food prior to packaging and the food packages remain intact, no harm will come from food that can be removed from a cleaned portion of a decontaminated container. Food in intact, air-tight buildings will be equally safe. Heat is the best all-around decontaminant for BW; and airing in the open in bright sunlight is one very good method for decontaminating packaged food adulterated by war gases in vapor form.
