Answer:

It is practiced around the world .

The statement, that is, food irradiation leaves food mildly radioactive is not true.  

• A technology, which uses ionizing radiation to improve safety and extend the shelf life of foods by eliminating and reducing insects and microbes is known as food irradiation.  

• Irradiation is used in canning fruits and vegetables and pasteurizing milk to make food safer for consumption.  

• Irradiation does not compromise nutritional quality, makes food radioactive, or change the texture, text, or appearance of food. The effect of irradiation is so minimal that it is not easy to identify that whether the food is irradiated.  

• Food irradiation has been approved in over forty countries and is almost practiced globally.
