Pesticides Contamination
With the growing demand for agricultural produce, there is increasing pressure to preserve longevity, increase shelf life and increase visual appeal of the greens sold in supermarkets.
This has resulted in the extensive use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and waxes from the farming and distribution chains. Residue from these chemicals are known to cause cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis and infertility. Children exposure to pesticides affects their antibodies and immune system.
Washing alone is not sufficient to remove these harmful chemicals. So how then can consumers be able to remove such hazardous and water-insoluble chemical residues from their produce?

AfterFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do we really need to wash our produce with a fruit and vegetable wash?
A: A majority of chemicals and pesticides used on our fruits and vegetables are water insoluble and therefore difficult to remove. These chemicals if ingested regularly can be harmful especially to children.
Q: Why can't regular household soaps be used to clean produce?
A: Household soaps or detergents contain chemicals that are harmful if ingested. There's also a high possibility of the detergents penetrating the skin of produce, making complete rinsing impossible.
Q: Is it safe to use VegeSafe to clean produce?
A: VegeSafe is tested to be completely rinseable. It is also non-toxic as all the ingredients are of organic origin and derived from plant sources.
Q: Is it troublesome to use VegeSafe?
A: No, it's very easy. Just apply a small amount to your produce and massage for approximately 30 seconds. Rinse off with water. For harder-to-clean produce such as broccoli or grapes, just mix 3 tbsp per 600ml of water, add produce and agitate for up to 1 minute and rinse with water.
