Food irradiation is the process of exposing food to ionizing radiation to destroy microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, or insects that might be present in the food.

Food irradiation acts by damaging the target organism's DNA beyond its ability to repair.

Food irradiation is currently permitted by over 50 countries, and the volume of food treated is estimated to exceed 500, 000 metric tons annually worldwide ; however, the extent of clearances is varying significantly, from a single item ( spices ) in the EU to any food in Brazil.

In consequence, the United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) has approved the use of low-level irradiation as an alternative treatment to pesticides for fruits and vegetables that are considered hosts to a number of insect pests, including fruit flies and seed weevils ; the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has cleared among a number of other applications the treatment of hamburger patties to eliminate the residual risk of a contamination by a virulent E. coli.

Food irradiation is sometimes referred to as " cold pasteurization " or " electronic pasteurization " because ionizing the food does not heat the food to high temperatures during the process, as in heat-pasteurization ( at a typical dose of 10 kGy, food that is physically equivalent to water would warm by about 2. 5 ° C ).

Food irradiation in the United States is primarily regulated by the FDA since it is considered a food additive.
