ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for irradiating a foodstuff with ultraviolet energy comprising a transport unit for receiving foodstuff at a first location and for transporting the foodstuff in a relatively spread out condition along a path to a second location. The foodstuff passes through a substantially enclosed housing wherein the foodstuff is exposed to a flux of ultraviolet radiation from a plurality of germicidal lamps. The transport unit includes a shaker table within the housing sloping downwardly from the entrance opening of the housing for agitating the foodstuff so that the foodstuff turns over and exposes its entire surface to the flux of radiation as it travels through the housing.
