Back of House: Wash Produce
-
Grocery stores are required by the Department of Health and Safety to wash any produce that is not pre-washed in running waters or with chemicals (like Pro-San®). Grocery stores prefer to use Pro-San because it is more efficient and can be added to a wash basin to avoid cross-contamination of produce or contamination from bacteria found in water. Pro-San® is made completely of food-grade and GRAS ingredients and leaves no residue, smell or taste. In addition to killing 99.999% of bacteria within 30 seconds, Pro-San® LC extends shelf life and leaves the produce looking brighter and fresher
-
One client used Pro-San® to pass health department inspections and the Wisconsin DATCP favorably reviewed the product. They commented that utilizing Pro-San® in conjunction with strong cleaning and processing procedures met health requirements and reduced insurance costs.
-
Spoilage causing bacteria can cause your produce to pre-emptively spoil - losing profit that you don’t need to. With Pro-San LC you can kill those spoilage causing bacteria and make sure more produce goes home to your customers and not to the landfill
-
When you wash produce in water, you can introduce new bacteria and you can cross-contaminate other produce if even one item is contaminated. Grocery stores prefer to use Pro-San because it is more efficient and can be added to a wash basin to avoid cross-contamination of produce or contamination from bacteria found in water.
