To meet your pathogen reduction goals, Sterigenics offers radiation-based gamma processing through our network of facilities located around the world.

    Food ingredients producers keep consumers safe from illness by reducing yeast, mold, fungi, bacteria and pathogens, like E.coli, Listeria, and Salmonella in food ingredients.

    Modality to reduce pathogens in food ingredients

    Radiation-based gamma processing kills microorganisms through a non-invasive process that penetrates several types of packaging, which means the food ingredients are not removed from their packaging. The process is safe. There are no residuals left on the products, which makes gamma irradiation ideal for pathogen reduction in food ingredients.

    What food ingredients are treated?

    • Spices & Herbs such as pepper, garlic and onion
