Until recently, chlorine and other harsh chemicals have been the only types of products available for washing produce in commercial processing facilities. However, chlorine can release harmful gases, increasing worker injuries resulting in lost time, and requires constant fresh water to keep the wash solution clean. And even with all of that, chlorine can’t do its job in the presence of a heavy soil load, which is exactly what exists when produce is grown in the ground and enters the wash system. With Europe already moving away from chlorine, it’s time for all of us to say goodbye to washing produce with harsh chemicals.
