I’VE NEVER WASHED MY FOOD WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. WHY DO I NEED EAT CLEANER?

Most produce is waxed to withstand the average 1,500 mile journey and over 20 sets of hands from field to fork. Wax seals in pesticide residue and debris, which can not be removed with water. Pesticide exposure is linked to Autism, Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease and other autoimmune Diseases. There were 48 million reported cases of food borne illness and 3,000 associated deaths last year in the U.S. alone. We can be the last line of defense for our families. Those with weak systems, particularly infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly are sensitive to foodborne illness and pesticide exposure.

IS EAT CLEANER EFFECTIVE ON CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19?

The Coronavirus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or nose discharge when infected person coughs or sneezes (CDC). COVID-19 can be transmitted from contaminated surfaces including produce when touching nose, mouth, and eyes. Surface contamination of produce can occurs from persons who are infected with the virus whether symptomatic or asymptomatic and then who touch the produce in retail, food service and distribution scenarios. Evidence on previous Coronavirus strains shows that good food hygiene can prevent their transmission through food including  produce (specific information on the transmission of COVID-19 through food are not available at this time but this is our experience with other viruses). While washing produce at home with “soap” and warm water as suggested may be be effective in removing surface contamination, it is too simplistic and a potentially unsafe practice. It is our opinion that household soaps and detergents are NOT food grade and likely to contain other unsafe ingredients. If ingested, it can cause harm to the consumer including diarrhea, indigestion and nausea.EatCleaner is the ONLY patented, lab proven, safe and effective line available on the market. The EatCleaner line of produce spray and powder washes are specifically formulated to clean produce using food grade ingredients and a natural, food grade surfactant (aka soaping agent) that breaks the surface tension of produce and the fatty, oily layers of wax and residue that water alone can’t, with other naturally anti-viral ingredients like Citric Acid and Ascorbic Acid. In 5 different independent lab tests, EatCleaner was proven to remove up to 99.99% of these potentially harmful residues.  This is particularly important for produce items that are not cooked, as high cooking temperatures can kill viruses.
