Back of House: Wash Produce
Meets Requirements of Department of Health and Safety
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
Pass Health Inspections
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.
Increase shelf life
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
Avoid and remove contamination
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.
