AquaSEEN for Disinfecting Fruits and Vegetables

AquaSEEN™ is a broad-spectrum, antimicrobial that eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses, molds, and yeasts (wild strains) and can be safely used in a concentrate in a wide range of applications requiring total disinfection, such as food and food contact areas.
