The difference between nuclear radiation food and irradiated food

Nuclear Radiation Food VS Irradiated Food, silly

Since nuclear radiation foods cannot be eaten, what about irradiated foods? Is it the same as nuclear radiation? Is irradiated food also harmful?

Irradiated foods have gone to the table of ordinary consumers, but for most consumers, the radiation sterilized food is still a relatively unknown term, always confusing nuclear radiation foods with sterilized foods. In fact, both There are essential differences. Irradiation-sterilized foods do not directly contact the radioactive source. The food only obtains the energy released by the radiation. Second, the energy used to irradiate the food is low, and it does not stimulate the induction of radioactive substances in the food. .

The “International Food Irradiation Advisory Group” jointly established by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has compiled a large number of relevant research announcements for more than 40 years. It states that the food irradiation sterilization technology is as safe as other food processing technologies. Beneficially, its destruction of food nutrients does not exceed the destruction of traditional heating methods. Irradiation at the prescribed dosage (up to 10 kGy) will not result in significant loss of nutritional quality of the food. Proteins, sugars and fats in foods will remain relatively stable, while essential amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and trace elements will not be too large. loss.

As a mature and safe food sterilization technology, food irradiation sterilization technology has been commercialized in more than 50 countries around the world. China officially approved irradiated foods in the 1980s. At present, it has approved six major categories of foods that are allowed to be irradiated, including cereals, dried fruits, cooked poultry, frozen packaged poultry meat, and spices. Class, fresh fruits and vegetables. As long as the irradiation process complies with national regulations, then irradiated foods have no impact on human health, health and safety have also been improved, and the use of preservatives has also been reduced, and it is rumored that the risk of carcinogenicity of irradiated foods on the Internet is even more serious. In this case, consumers can feel comfortable eating.

However, there are also chaotic phenomena in irradiated foods, such as irradiating expired foods. According to the "Regulations for the Administration of Irradiated Food Hygiene," it is forbidden to irradiate foods that are out of date and inferior; and products that are irradiated are not labeled " "Radiation" words, in accordance with the provisions, must be marked on the relevant product packaging "irradiation", to protect the consumer's right to know; there is to increase the irradiation dose, repeated irradiation, management regulations, the vast majority of food is Repeated irradiation is not allowed.
