Re: produce wash

Misc.
I dont agree with the FDA and USDA recommendations of using water alone to clean produce.Water is simply too inert to be effective at removing chemicals and wax which are intended to be 'waterproof'.Their results cannot be considered conclusive,because there are many produce washes and their formulas do differ in their effectiveness.Most of these products contain a blend of acids and surfactants that are formulated to cut through waxes and waterproof chemicals.Depending on the product used and how well its used according to label directions will determine its degree of effectiveness.So yes,I recommend a good produce wash,however I recommend rinsing with distilled water rather than tap water.If you need a recommendation for a brand name,I can recommend FIT produce wash.
