Food irradiation is a food safety technology that can eliminate disease-causing germs from foods. Like pasteurization of milk‚ and pressure-cooking of canned foods‚ treating food with ionizing radiation can kill bacteria that would otherwise cause food borne disease. The process can also control insects and parasites‚ reduce spoilage‚ and inhibit ripening and sprouting.

Today packaging is pervasive and essential. It surrounds‚ enhances and protects the goods from processing and manufacturing through handing and storage to final consumption without packing‚ materials would be messy
