Irradiated food can often be identified by the presence of the "radura" symbol, which is a logo indicating that the food has undergone irradiation. Additionally, packaging may include labels that state the food has been irradiated or treated with ionizing radiation. While the appearance or taste of irradiated food may not differ significantly from non-irradiated food, these labeling indicators are the most reliable way to confirm its treatment.
