Sugárzásmentes

Sugárzásmentes, or radiation-free, refers to the absence of ionizing radiation, which includes alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. This term is often used in the context of food, beverages, and other products to indicate that they have not been exposed to ionizing radiation during processing or packaging. The primary concern with ionizing radiation is its potential to cause biological damage, including DNA mutations and cancer.

The use of ionizing radiation in food processing is regulated by various international and national organizations, such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These regulations ensure that any radiation used is within safe limits and that the resulting products are safe for consumption.

Sugárzásmentes products are typically processed using non-ionizing radiation methods, such as heat, pressure, or chemical treatments, which do not pose the same health risks. These methods are effective in preserving food, extending shelf life, and ensuring food safety.

The term "sugárzásmentes" is commonly used in the European Union, where it is a mandatory label for food products that have not been exposed to ionizing radiation. In other regions, similar labeling requirements may exist, but the terminology may vary.

In summary, sugárzásmentes is a label used to indicate that a product has not been exposed to ionizing radiation, ensuring that it is safe for consumption and free from potential health risks associated with radiation exposure.
