Abstract
The irradiation method has been widely used in treating food for its many advantages, perhaps giving inadequate attention toits dark side. Based on many scientific studies, irradiation has a direct impact on food components, affecting the food’s attributes. But could consuming irradiated food for a long period of time have adverse health effects? The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the scientific background of the use of radiation in the food industry and its effects on human health.
