Vegetable and fruit sanitising
1. Dilute Vegisan at 250:1 (250 parts water to 1 part Vegisan). That's 4ml per 1 litre of water. For a 25 litre tub of water, add 100ml of Vegisan and briefly stir.
2. Check chlorine level (should be 100 to 110ppm) using a low-level chlorine test strip.
3. Wash and soak vegetables and fruit.
4. Produce must have a minimum of 5 minutes of soak time.
5. Rinse thoroughly under clean running water.
Handy tips
• The wash water should be 5°C
to 10°C warmer than the produce to prevent water and bacteria from being absorbed into the tissue.
• Make up a new solution for each wash. Check the chlorine level regularly if continuous washing is being done.
• Always remember to blot the Chlorine Test paper with a white paper cloth before reading the results.
• Always store in a cool location out of direct sunlight.
Can Vegisan be used for sanitizing hard surfaces in food areas?
No. Vegisan is designed for sanitizing vegetables and fruit only. For sanitizing surfaces in food areas use Cleansan and/or Protect.
