Proven Solution to Fresh Produce Safety Challenges

• Date: November 03, 2009

E. coli 0157:H7 Salmonella and Listeria contamination by way of fresh produce is causing frequent public health outbreaks.

Tsunami 100 registered with the EPA has proven to be the only water additive which reduces pathogens in fruit and vegetables process water. It works to eliminate upto 99.9% of the pathogens in process water. It also has increased the shelf life by eliminating other surface pathogens on fruits and vegetables.

FDA till date has been issuing voluntary food safety guidelines but is under pressure to up the ante on forming a task force to investigate the recent outbreaks and suggest changes to avoid further proliferation of such outbreaks.

The emphasis on hygiene and sanitation seems to be shifting to the roots – that is right from the farm.
