Phytosanitary and sanitary cold treatment for food on pallets
eXelis® Food

X-ray is a cold food processing technology that meets the highest requirements of most phytosanitary authorities when treating pallets. Consumers are also receptive to the technology since they regularly face X-ray systems in hospitals or in airports in comparison with radio-isotopes or fumigant-based treatments.

Why X-ray for food

X-rays for food serves several purposes including sanitary measures such as prevention of foodborne illness, phytosanitary measures such as insect/pest control (SIT) or shelf life extension.
X-rays for food have many advantages over traditional technologies:
- X-rays are well known by consumers from hospital and airports
- X-rays are routinely used for sterilizing medical devices
- Compared with traditional heat processes, X-ray’s cold treatment reduces impact on vitamin content
- There is no chemical or radioactive material involved during the process
