Food Irradiation Market Overview

The Food Irradiation Industry is experiencing steady growth due to rising concerns over food safety, shelf-life extension, and contamination control. Food irradiation is a non-chemical process that uses ionizing radiation to eliminate bacteria, parasites, and other harmful microorganisms from food products, making them safer for consumption and prolonging their shelf life.
