Food irradiation is the exposure of food to
low-level irradiation to kill microorganisms,
a technique used in food technology.
Irradiation is highly effective, and does not
make the food any more radioactive than it is
naturally. Irradiation food is used for
astronauts and immunocompromised patients in
hospitals.
