FreshPoint Integrates Smartwash For Improved Food Safety

Salinas, CA —  With a continuing commitment to the highest level of food safety, FreshPoint, Toronto has implemented SmartWash Solutions into all of its wash lines. SmartWash is a revolutionary wash system enhancer that increases the effectiveness of chlorine based wash systems, mitigating the possibility of cross contamination and subsequent outbreaks. Dan Martin, President of FreshPoint Toronto, says, "We were looking to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. We did our research and found that SmartWash was the safest system avai lable. We looked at all our options. In fact, we did a study across North America, and got the best results in Toronto where we were testing SmartWash, so that's why we decided to invest in SmartWash."

FreshPoint is integrating SmartWash into its wash lines across the board and is already seeing improved process control and consistent chlorine levels. "Integrating SmartWash took a little bit of engineering, but the SmartWash team was on site, investing their time and expertise to make sure the system is working the way its designed to. Improved process control is a great byproduct, but our motivation for investing in SmartWash is food safety — 100%," says Martin. "FreshPoint is a great partnership," says SmartWash's Sara Mohsin. "We developed SmartWash as a food safety firewall — a reliable tool to stop cross contamination, eliminate outbreaks and make sure the fresh produce we eat is safe. FreshPoint put us to the test and found that SmartWash is the most effective wash system enhancer on the market. That's great validation for what we do."
