Direct UV-C irradiation of food — observe the food irradiation regulation

● 01 — What it is

Direct UV-C surface irradiation of the food (e.g. cold cuts, RTE products) while it runs through a tunnel enclosure. Pathogen reduction without chemical residues, without taste/structure change. Observe country-specific regulations — in DE per §13 LMBG only permitted for dried herbs and spices without special approval; USA (FDA) broadly permitted for RTE.

● 02 — Who uses it
  • Food production (US market: RTE cold cuts, salad, juice, poultry)
  • EU-compliant: dried herbs + spices
  • Research/pilot applications with special approval
● 03 — What Simulex outputs
  • Lamp recommendation per belt width + dwell time
  • Achieved pathogen reduction in log steps
  • PDF report incl. regulatory compliance notes
● 04 — Regulatory framework
  • FDA 21 CFR 179.39 (UV-C food)
  • §13 LMBG (DE)
  • EU 1999/2/EG
