Explanation:

Food irradiation is the process of exposing foodstuffs to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is energy that can be transmitted without direct contact to the source of the energy (radiation) capable of freeing electrons from their atomic bonds (ionization) in the targeted food.
Food irradiation uses radiant energy electron beams, gamma rays or x-rays to rid food of harmful microorganisms.
