Irradiated foods have been endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Worldwide, 38 countries permit irradiation of food. Irradiation is a regulated food process in Canada. Health Canada is responsible for determining which foods can be irradiated, and what levels of radiation can be used.
