What do you mean by "radiation", and what are you hoping to achieve by using it?
It's not a popular process type amongst consumer in some areas as the term "radiation" tends to scare people, and is required on labels for EU and US markets where food has been irradiated.

In terms of safety, unless you are doing something highly unusual (and potentially dangerous), irradiation doesn't and shouldn't make food radioactive. If you are exposing food to a source of ionizing energy that is powerful enough to start knocking neutrons out of atoms and make unstable isotopes then you've probably got more significant problems to be concerned with!
Nonetheless there tend to be a number of regulatory and personal safety considerations around use of radiation sources, although I'm not familiar with what those would be in in Saudi Arabia.

The purpose of radiating food is what?

 

Personnally, I see the term radiated on food and I put it back on the shelf.

Seems like a customer requested this, otherwise I don't see why lol

Hi there,
As other responders did, me too curious about the intention of doing so for the said products.
It generally considered safe with correct dosage and duration, afaik.

radiation for sterilisation?

Distribution in which area?

 

I have applied radiation to sterilize medical devices.

 

A permission to apply radiation in food is very limited in Europe, e.g. for spices. Even in Europe there exist national legislations.
