Offshore Gamma Irradiation Treatment Providers
Reminder: Please check AQIS's Import Conditions database (ICON), and your Import Permit conditions (if relevant) to determine all import requirements prior to importing, and to confirm that offshore Gamma irradiation treatment is an acceptable treatment option for your commodity.
Gamma irradiation is used as a sterilising agent for many products. In Australia, gamma irradiation is not accepted as a treatment for foodstuffs other than herbs and spices, herbal teas and some tropical fruits. More information is available from Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
This treatment may cause damage to the following articles:
- Some glass, white porcelain, and coloured sands may be discoloured.
- Some plastics, such as polyurethane packaging, may be discoloured.
- Mirrors turn black.
- Animal hides (with hair) often lose the hair.
