This is the governing body for the sprouting industry and their responsibility is to protect the consumer against food borne pathogens. They have mandated that all sprouts be sanitized with harsh chemicals. We are the only grower that has researched and implemented a natural sanitizer that works in harmony with nature and our bodies.
There are NO harmful substances or any type of preservatives in our sanitizer (Naturally Hygienic Food Sanitizer). This product works using a proprietary formula based on ionized water, which has a number of safe and effective property’s for killing food borne pathogens.
Our revolutionary process complies with our mandated food safety directive, and our personal goals to produce an organic sprout, without negative repercussions to the human body.
There has been a dramatic and revolutionary change in Food Safety at our sprouting operations as of
August 2012.
This technology has allowed us to elevate our food safety to a new level. This new level is known as Hygienic and was never thought to be attainable.
Fresh Leaf Foods have implemented a groundbreaking technology that has the approval from CFIA as a hard surface sanitizer and a sanitizer for fruits, vegetables and meats, without needing a post rinse. For the first time in our growing experience we now have the ability to ensure that the sprouts that we are packaging
are Hygienic.
In short, our sprouts are not packaged until each individual sprout has been tested and meets the ultimate "Hygienic" standard.
The product that we use is "Naturally Hygienic Food Sanitizer" by Solace Industries Inc. Look for this product, in the near future, in the produce isle of your local store or online at libertynaturals.ca
"The majority of cleaning agents in stores are made of organic acids, such as citric acid, which although smell nice, don’t really sanitize surfaces. Bleach is more powerful although generates cancer causing products, in addition to swimming pool odors. For the last four years, we have been performing research on the application of electrolyzed water for sanitizing food contact and non-contact surfaces. The results of our efforts has been to demonstrate that electrolyzed water can inactivate key pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes on a variety of surfaces without the accompanying chlorine odor associated with bleach", says Dr Keith Warriner PhD.
