Veggi-Wash and Fruit Too - A tasteless wash,
which removes farm chemicals, waxes, surface
grime & insects. Makes 100 litres of active
solution. A low unit cost formula suitable for
home and commercial food preparation.
The surface of fresh vegetables and fruit can
be contaminated with pesticides, fertilizers
and preservatives. The produce is exposed to
dust, atmospheric and exhaust fumes, also airborne
and handling micro-organisms. This patented
product will neutralise harmful chemicals and
rapidly assist in the removal of toxic grime
and insects. Veggi-Wash is 500% better than
water alone at cleaning produce. Veggi Wash
contains three naturally based surface-active
ingredients - one to reduce surface tension
on the produce, a second renders materials soluble
and the third breaks them down prior to rinsing.
All three are vegetable derived.
Crop protection chemicals are formulated to
stick and not wash off with rain - Will tap
water wash them off? - No. Ideal for ORGANICALLY
GROWN PRODUCE which is also subject to handling
insect infestation can also be a problem.
It will remove the following: Pesticides, Herbicides,
Fertilizers, Dirt, Waxes, Insect Detritus, Micro-Organisms,
Bacteria, Mould & Mildew.
Usage
Add 1 or 2 capfuls to 5 litres of cold water,
wash or soak produce thoroughly for 1 or 2 minutes.
Rinse well and eat or store as normal.
Ingredients: Plantaren, sucrose esters, cocoyl
glutamate (from coconut, sweetcorn and palm
kernel oils), trisodium citrate and glycerine,
(all vegetable derived). All ingredients are
naturally derived from renewable resources and
are designed to be friendly to the user and
the environment. The range is manufactured for
home and professional use and is independently
tested by world respected laboratories and research
institutes. Various food production and regulatory
bodies were actively involved in formula development.

Pesticide residue results:
Veggi-Wash was tested on a number of pesticide
residues namely: diphenylamine on apples,
chlorpropham, tecnazene and 2,3,5,6 tetrachloranille
on potatoes, dithiocar-bamate on lettuce
and quinalphos on broccoli. Water has little
effect on these residues since they are
formulated to resist being easily washed
off, various tests showed that anything
between 70% and 93.5% of surface residues
remain after washing. Veggi Wash performed
somewhat better, reducing tecnazene levels
on potatoes by between 12.9% and 45.7% (compared
with a 4.3% reduction for water), chlorpropham
on potatoes by 93.4% (6.7% reduction for
washing in water), 2,3,5,6 tetrachloranille
on potatoes by 95% (water not compared),
diphenyl-amine on apples by 93.4% (water
30%), quinalphos on broccoli by between
23% and 25% (water 6.7%). |
