The foods that are allowed to be irradiated in the United States include:

  • White potatoes: Irradiation is used to inhibit sprouting in white potatoes, which helps in extending their shelf life.

  • Wheat flour: Irradiation is used to control insects in wheat flour, making it a common practice.

  • Pork: Irradiation is used to control pathogens such as Trichinella in pork, ensuring it is safe for consumption.

Jelly is not typically irradiated, as it is a processed food with a long shelf life due to its high sugar content and acidity, which naturally inhibit microbial growth.

Therefore, the foods you would expect to find on the list of those allowed to be irradiated in the United States are white potatoes, wheat flour, and pork.
