Irradiated food is food that has purposely been exposed to ionizing radiation to kill of microbes, bacteria and fungi. This makes the application useful for hospital diets, where the patients may be at specific risk from extraneous microbes and bacterias. This also makes the food last longer or can be used to delay ripening. The food does NOT become radioactive. In America the FDA regulates use of irradiated food. The European Union regulates for Europe.
