Basics

Food irradiation is the process of exposing food and food packaging to Ionizing Radiation to extend the Shelf Life of irradiated foods by effectively destroying organisms responsible for spoilage and foodborne illness and inhibiting sprouting.
The more "old school" approach was a chunk of cobalt
Electon Beams or X-Ray Tubes can be "turned off" and supposedly can be used as well
- The latter of which is quite easy to make or source
With Controlled Atmosphere Storage (Full inert can be used as all anerobics will be killed), Sealed Packages in a Dark Space/Package, and Refrigeration, along with this tech, VERY long shelf lifes can be acheived with no "Preservatives" (not that all are evil)
It also makes Food Born Illnesses Near impossible
- Imagine a world with no samonella, ecoli, etc outbreaks
- And parasites in developing countries
- ...
- Extremophiles, Prions and Viruses may still exist though (need more info on this)
