Outbreaks of human diseases associated with the consumption of raw fruits and vegetables have increased over the past decade. Fruits and vegetables can become contaminated with micro-organisms capable of causing human disease while still on the plant in the fields or orchards, during harvesting, transport, processing and distribution.

The Superior Aqua Agricultural System achieved a 3.5 log reduction of micro-organisms. The use of chlorine in conjunction with the Superior Aqua Agricultural System will achieve additional reduction of micro-organisms.
