Answer 2

The maximum permissible limit of dosage for microbial inactivation in spices and dry herbs during irradiation is 3  to 10 kGy.

Food Irradiation is the process of treatment of food with high energy gamma rays, X-rays and  accelerated electrons.

Purpose of irradiation

- To protect foods from infestation,  contamination,  and spoilage

Dose of Irradiation

- The Codex General Standard for Irradiated Foods recommends a radiation dose of 3 to 10 kGy for spices, herbs and other dry ingredients.

- The maximum dose of 10 kGy is  equal to the heat energy required to increase the  temperature of water by 2.4°C.

So it is safe.

Hope this helps.
