Food Technology Service, Inc., Mulberry, FL, one of the nation's most experienced commercial food irradiators, has reported a profit of $39,487 for the first 2003 quarter ended March 31, 2003. This is as compared with $47,304 for the equivalent 2002 quarter. Total revenue for the quarter was $412,467 as compared with $409,106 in the first quarter of 2002.
