PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for treating a food with superheated steam, which has high productivity and yet an inexpensive installation cost. SOLUTION: The food 11 sealed in a heat-resistant container 12 having pressure resistance is carried in a tunnel 16 being sprayed with the superheated steam 14 at≥110°C by a conveyor 13 and passed through the tunnel 16 so that the food 11 in the heat-resistant container 12 is processed and sterilized. Consequently, the food is heated in a short time and the problem of excessive cooking is solved. Since the method for treating the food has high productivity and the inexpensive installation cost and the treatment is carried out under lower pressure than the conventional method, the treatment has no fear of an explosion, a fire, etc., and is safely carried out.
