Where can food be irradiated ?
Food can be irradiated in a food irradiation plant, which is authorized by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board and licensed by the competent authority. The license to carry out food irradiation operation is given only after ascertaining the safety of the installation, its suitability to ensure proper process control, and availability of licensed operators and qualified staff. A facility could be put up as a private, public or joint sector company.
