Gard'nClean Liquid: To Extend Shelf-Life and Freshness of Fruits and Vegetables in Food Processing Facilities

This product will reduce concentrations of spoilage microbes on raw agricultural commodities (RACs) intended for commercial food processing.

1. Activate GC 30 according to “Directions for Use” on the package label.
2. Wash and thoroughly rinse fruits and vegetables with clean, potable water.
3. Prepare a 5 ppm solution of activated GC 30 OR prepare a 500 ppm solution of GC 30 and use a 1:100 dilution device (one part 500 ppm solution to 99 parts water).
4. Apply the 5 ppm solution to fruits and vegetables by: either immersing/dipping in a tank of 5 ppm solution for 1 minute OR using an application-specific sprayer (the industry standard fan or cone spray nozzle pattern) to cover all surfaces evenly with a 5 ppm spray; surfaces should remain visibly wet for 1 minute. Replenish immersion solution at the rate of depletion; verify 5 ppm concentration using Selective Micro® Chlorine Dioxide Test Strips. Empty and wash immersion tanks with every shift change.
5. Follow application to fruits and vegetables with a potable water rinse or canning, blanching, or cooking.
6. Dispose of package and spent envelope according to instructions on package label.
