Food irradiation is a process that exposes food to ionizing radiation like gamma rays or electron beams to eliminate pathogens and parasites, inhibit sprouting, delay ripening, and enhance shelf life. It has been approved in over 40 countries for use on over 100 food items. While some vitamins are sensitive to radiation, major nutrients are not significantly impacted and no known changes caused by irradiation have been found to be harmful. Properly conducted food irradiation provides benefits to food safety and quality without making food radioactive.
