FruitGard™ Storage Treatment

FruitGard™ (Chlorine dioxide, CI02) is created when sodium chlorite (NaClO2) mixes with a stabilized acid zeolite impregnate. CI02 is a water-soluble oxidizer, proven to reduce spoilage organisms and pathogenic bacteria on stored produce. The acid is one of three types, depending upon the style of chlorine dioxide needed. The release can be fast to slow (preventative).
