I was in a health food store about a year ago buying some spices when something intriguing caught my eye. The label on one of the spice jars read, “non-irradiated.” My immediate reaction was curiosity. Why would such a statement appear on a spice jar? Did that mean everything else was typically irradiated? When I got home, I started to research irradiated food and to my surprise I found out that many types of food are routinely subjected to some form of radiation treatment in order to kill harmful bacteria and extend shelf life.
