BioSafe Systems has developed food safety management solutions for agricultural irrigation water, culminating in a label update. Following extensive collaboration with industry and university researchers, it has been announced that SaniDate12.0 received approval from the EPA for reducing foodborne bacterial pathogens in preharvest agricultural irrigation water.
SaniDate 12.0 uses peroxyacetic acid to effectively kill potentially harmful human health pathogens that can contaminate irrigation water used in the production of fruits and vegetables.
E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica are two of the most common culprits in food safety recalls and foodborne illnesses. While there are several postharvest EPA-registered products in the marketplace for controlling human health pathogens, SaniDate 12.0 is the first of its kind for controlling these harmful bacteria in preharvest irrigation water.
This is a huge milestone for BioSafe Systems, as the only company with EPA-registered products for both preharvest and postharvest applications for controlling potentially harmful human health pathogens.
