Save Foods is an innovative, dynamic company dedicated to delivering integrated solutions to reduce food waste, improved safety, freshness and quality, every step of the way from field to fork. Fresh and processed produce are one of the main sources of foodborne illness outbreaks caused by pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria and are prone to microbial spoilage. To ensure safety and reduce food waste, Save Foods has developed a range of eco-friendly and “green” solutions and products with high efficiency against both human and plant pathogens. We use hydrogen peroxide together with a proprietary blend of food grade acids thus leaving no residues of toxicological significance on the treated produce. By forming a temporary protective shield around the treated produce, we make it difficult for pathogens to develop and thereby provide long-lasting protection which also reduces cross-contamination.
In addition, most conventional fungicides leave residues with health and environmental concerns and therefore are strictly regulated, and their residue carefully monitored. Our products, on average, reduce by 50% (and in some cases eliminate) the need for additional use of conventional fungicide which benefit our health and environment by significantly reducing the level of residues.
We have a unique opportunity to make a positive difference throughout the food value chain. We target major markets that use conventional chemical pesticides (fungicides) and sanitizers, including the pre- and post-harvest market, the greenhouse market and the fresh-cut market, where our “green” products are used as alternatives for, or mixed with, conventional products to ensure safety and increase shelf life.
Our initial applications are in post-harvest treatments in fruit and vegetable packing houses processing for example, citrus fruits, avocado, papaya, apples, mango, microgreens, cannabis etc.
