Food & Beverages
Nature at its purest
Ozone is a more powerful and effective sanitiser than UV, chlorine or other chemicals. Fruit, juices, spices, grains, meats and all other perishables are subject to bacterial and fungal contamination.
Food must be safe to consume and there cannot be any compromises. Yet, according to EFSA (European food safety authority), more than 5000 foodborne outbreaks are reported in the EU member states, per year. Therefore, the subject of keeping our food safe is more relevant now than ever.
Keeping the food supply safe, reputation and operations of the producers intact is where ozone can play a crucial role.
Ozone disinfection
Ozone is the most potent natural sanitising and disinfection method, capable of eliminating up to 99% of microorganisms, pesticides and pathogens. Any contaminants that can be removed by the oxidation process will be altered with ozone.
Ozone systems are successfully integrated with a variety of food—fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, seafood, dried foods, liquid foods and spices.
Ozone is a smart chemical-free disinfection method that delays mould formation naturally without leaving any residues and in turn minimising the need for preservatives, preventing waste, and adding value to foods and beverages.
