We Say NO!
No to industrial chemicals and carcinogens! No to V.O.C.s
Do you know that the most widely used sanitizer for produce, Chlorine, can react with the produce to form carcinogenic (cancer-causing) compounds? Industrial chemicals can also cause a chemical smell and pollution that lingers, caused by v.o.c.s (voliatile organic compounds). All Pro-San® products are free of alcohol, chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). No carcinogens, no v.o.c.s.
No to residue! No pesticides!
Pro-San® products never leave a residue. Your standard industrial cleaners have to be rinsed off, resulting in multiple steps. When you have to rinse with water, you risk re-contaminating your recently cleaned surfaces. Pro-San also removes waxes, residues, and lingering pesticides on the produce skin.
No to chemical smells or taste!
When you use oxidizing chemicals to clean your produce (bleach-hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, per-acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide & ozone), they can react with and break down vitamins, phytochemicals and other nutrients of fresh fruits and vegetables. These chemicals can also leave a lingering smell and taste.
No to produce spoilage at the farm or in your grocery!
Spoilage is often caused by bacteria and microorganisms that are introduced from the field, processing equipment, in shipment, from wash water, at the grocery store or at numerous possible points from the farm to your table. It is important to properly sanitize the produce at each step; key points are right after the produce is picked and when it arrives at the grocery store.
We are PRO-
PRO- safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly!
Pro-San® products are made out food-grade and GRAS ingredients; You can be confident using them on your produce and food-contacting surfaces. They are also bio-based and biodegradable, making them environmentally friendly. We tested hundreds of formulations to make sure we wouldn’t sacrifice on safety, effectiveness, or environmental friendliness. These three pillars are at the core of our company.
PRO- convenience! Fast and easy, no-rinse use!
Pro-San® products are made of safe and environmentally ingredients. Since everything is food-grade or GRAS, you don’t have to rinse. Just spray, delay, and then walk away!
*see label for more specific instructions
PRO- vitamins and nutrients!
Pro-San® does not alter or destroy organic food by chemical oxidation. Unlike most oxidizing chemicals used on produce, Pro-San® leaves vitamins, phytochemicals and other nutrients of fresh fruits and vegetables in natural condition.
PRO- longer-lasting, bright and fresh looking produce!
Microcide® has created products for each stage of produce harvesting: sprays for greenhouse-grown plants, produce wash for directly after produce is picked, additives to grocery misting sprays, produce wash for grocery stores, and an at-home product. Pro-San® kills spoilage causing bacteria at each step. Studies show that using using Pro-San® can increase produce shelf life and reduce spoilage by up to 20%. Produce that is sterilized by Pro-San® also looks brighter and fresher.
Make your produce last longer.
Up to 60 per cent of all fruits and vegetables spoil before they are consumed. Most produce spoils due to damage from microorganisms such as bacteria or mold or enzymatic processes (sped by microorganisms). Pro-San® kills spoilage-causing bacteria and Pro-San® FRAF contains an anti-fungal. Pro-San® has been shown to increase produce yields in greenhouse environments up to 30%, to reduce spoilage at berry farms, and to reduce spoilage of tomatoes by 20% over 15 days of storage at room temperature.
Hey there, better looking.
