Incorporating ROS in Ice-Making Machines Extends Shipping Shelf Life of Produce, Seafood and Meat Products

M&R farms in Birmingham, Minnesota uses JC 9465 as a primary solution for their packing facility. They have also incorporated JC 9465 into their ice-making machines improving product shelf-life as well as eliminating biofilm. By injecting JC 9465 into their water lines supplying the ice machines, the ORP readings went up from 451 to 632. Once it had been converted to ice, the readings had increased to 783ORP, destroying virtually all pathogens, such as Listeria and Salmonella. Furthermore, when the ice melted it continued to have the disinfecting power of JC 9465, as measured by ORP. Since incorporating JC 9465, their ice is much flakier, the machines are running cleaner and producing more ice daily. By removing pathogens and controlling biofilm with JC 9465, M&R Farms was able to improve safety and extend shipping and shelf life of produce, seafood and meat products.
