Abstract: A food processing apparatus includes: a container that includes a space for accommodating a food item; a catalyst film that includes an activation surface in contact with the space; and a light source that is disposed closer to a principal surface of the catalyst film than to the activation surface in a thickness direction of the catalyst film, and emits ultraviolet light toward the catalyst film. The principal surface is on an opposite side of the catalyst film with respect to the activation surface. The catalyst film includes a surface layer including the activation surface and an absorption layer including the principal surface. The absorption layer contains an ultraviolet-light absorbing particle that absorbs a portion of the ultraviolet light.
