Herbal-Active

Dipping solution for fresh produce

Ever thought about microbial contamination on the food you buy? Who knows how the chicken you buy 'fresh' has been stored or handled. Anyone can handle, sneeze over or replace from the floor, the fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets and green grocer. How confident are you that the seafood or red meat you buy has been kept at the right temperatures to inhibit microbial growth and make it safe to eat?

The facts are that 76 million Americans in the US suffered from food poisoning last year and somewhere between 7 and 8 million Australian suffered the same fate. All chicken has Salmonella on the meat or in the skin. It takes 1 million Salmonella organisms to give you symptoms of food poisoning. The use of antibiotics and antibiotic-like preservatives is breeding superbugs.

Also, much of the food our farmers grow spoils from mold and fungal attack. Ever seen zucchini kept too long in your fridge? It turns to mush. Have you ever paid good money for berry fruits only to throw them out the next day because they went moldy?

Herbal-Active, natural food rinse, is designed to to make food safe and to extend the useful life of foods we buy. A simple solution of 1 level teaspoonful in a liter of water can safeguard you and your family from food pathogens and reduce food spoilage, keeping you healthy and saving you money in these tough times.
