Stopping food waste

It’s estimated that around one-third of all food produced today (1.3 billion tons) are lost or wasted from the time they are produced to when they are consumed. In addition, The number of food recalls in the U.S. has shown a dramatic increase in the last few years, and food borne pathogens sicken more than 70 million people in the US and Europe alone.  Applying these stats to the estimated 50% increase in agricultural demand expected by 2050 points to enormous levels of waste, food borne illness, and cost. 

Addressing these problems is a new start-up called Save Foods which has developed a NATURAL, eco-friendly, proprietary treatment that protects and extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.  Save foods’ new solution controls foodborne pathogens responsible for food recalls and fungi responsible for fruit and vegetables decay otherwise known as microbes.

By controlling and preventing pathogen contamination, Save Foods’ products not only prolong produce shelf life and reduce food waste; it also ensures a safe, natural, and healthy product in a very environmentally friendly and cost-effective way. 

Save Foods’ products are produced with ingredients that are recognized as safe (“GRAS” - Generally recognized as safe) by the FDA.  They leave no residues of a toxic nature (toxicological concern) on the treated produce, nor on the environment, which make it beneficial for the packers relative to fungicides used today that have strict MRL (Maximum Residues Level).  In addition to being effective, safe, and eco-friendly, Save Foods’ treatment is fast and easy to implement, offering a seamless plug and play solution, utilizing a packing house’s current infrastructure.
