Product Safety
Health and Environment
More than 80 comprehensive international health and environmental tests have proven AgroFresh's 1-MCP technologies to be safe for workers, consumers and the environment.
Studies and tests have been carried out strictly under internationally accepted Good Laboratory and Experimental Practices by well-known, experienced and respected research organizations.
Globally Recognized and Registered
AgroFresh is committed to the regulations of each country. So far, registrations have been obtained in over 45 countries worldwide. Registrations include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. and the European Union. As worldwide demand for our products and services continues to grow, AgroFresh continuously seeks new registrations.
Residue Free
AgroFresh's 1-MCP technologies do not leave any residues neither in or on the fruit, or in the environment. The explanation is simple: The active ingredient is comprised of a simple carbon and hydrogen molecule. After it attaches to the ethylene receptor site, it is broken down by the fruit's natural process and biodegrades into simple molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which are naturally present in the atmosphere.
