Hello ismu:

 

There are several ways to sanitize vegetables and fruits that cannot be heated.  Chlorine containing solutions and hydrogen peroxide are good materials to use because after they have done their job, they evaporate and leave no hazardous residue.

 

Hydrogen peroxide is actually water that has been super-oxygenated.  Once it releases the oxygen, which kills or inactivates pathogens, it turns back into water.  And the oxygen just blows away.

 

Chlorine dioxide is the "chlorine" that is put into drinking water.  It's made using oxygen and salt. It is approved by the FDA for food use.  It releases the oxygen that inactivates the pathogens, then the chlorine dissipates, which leaves nothing on the produce.  It is a problem in an enclosed building, because the vapors can accumulate and be hazardous to the workers, but there are ways to make sure that it is safe.

 

Both are accepted and very safe.  Much safer than getting the food borne infections.

Hi ismu,

I'm confused, Charles. What's all BS? 

Organics?

Baterial contamination?

 

I really get that sometimes what the general public is upset about is sometimes (often) overblown, but this response someone actually trying to do the right thing is not helpful.

Hi Setanta,

 

Perhaps we had different interpretations of the OP.

 

As I understood, it's objective was to promote a return to wholly natural foods.

On the other hand, the reported health-related incidents attributed to fresh produce of recent years would also seem  to justify the use of control measures as referred in post #2.

 

I deduce that the OP believes that all such control measures render the product unsafe for consumption.

 

Perhaps the OP would like to validate their viewpoint ?

I agree, we need more information.
