Ozone is a safe and effective alternative to traditionally accepted means to rid meat, poultry, fruit and vegetables of dangerous pathogens.
Food products treated with ozone are also free of disinfectant residues.
In some foods, ozone proponents indicated flavor is enhanced by ozone's ability to neutralize chemicals, pesticides and bad tastes from gases produced by ripening or decaying food. The uses of ozone as a food decontaminate according to Majchrowicz has a bright future. The disinfecting ability of ozone is evidenced by its generally accepted use in treating water supplies in the U.S. and Europe. The development of ozone technology in the U.S. food processing industry is dependent on proper safeguards in its use to assure worker safety, economic competitiveness with existing and emerging technologies that sanitize food, as well as its effectiveness in enhancing food safety. Cyclopss Corporation is one of the leading developers of ozone applications and technologies for industries ranging from food processing to institutional and commercial laundries.
