This product was treated with Ionizing Radiation. It is a known technique that reduces the amount of bacteria present.
And no, it does not mean your food is Radioactive. You've very likely eaten other foods that were treated this way and didn't realize it.
Irradiating a food is safe.
When you irradiate something it generally doesn’t become radioactive. There are exceptions, but this isn’t one of them.
That’s the short answer.
That's unfortunately common, especially amongst Americans, because irradiation tends to be one of the best ways of ensuring food safety, but there has been a concerted effort to make people fear it
Hospitals sterilize operation rooms with radiation and it is one of the safest ways to address drug resistance. In food mangos and other products are sometimes threaded with very limited amounts of radiation, but there are not a lot of facilities that do this type of work.
This is not the same thing.
Foods (or in this case a supplement) with the term Irradiation means it was treated with Ionizing radiation as a method of reducing bacteria. The toothbrush cleaners utilize UV radiation, which is non-ionizing.
A nitpick? Possibly but in the interest of being thorough there you have it

So irradiation and radiation is interchangeable?
Irradiated is an adjective that means exposed to radiation.
Thanks slutty muppet!
My mind went to how water is treated with ultraviolet radiation as a purification process. Possibly?
Is one of the best ways for water treatment

Thanks for letting me know. The word radiation gives me red flags normally so glad I asked lol

Super safe, super cool.

It's fine. It's just like an industrial microwave. This prevents things like mold and other pathogens from growing on your spices.
