Partnership Yields New Produce Washer

QSR Magazine:

SteelKor, LLC signed a joint marketing agreement with HealthPro Brands, Inc. to introduce the newest system in the fight against food-borne illness outbreaks linked to produce.

“The X-Green System is a stainless steel produce wash station that is designed to become the new standard in produce cleaning for back-of-the-house foodservice operations. It is designed for operations ranging in size from quick-serves and full-service commercial kitchens to full-scale commissaries and grocery stores. Its flexible design allows for the addition of components like salad spinners, prep tables, and cutting boards to meet the needs of a specific operation,” says James Bigott, president of SteelKor.

“The food preparation stage is one of the last lines of defense a foodservice operator has to prevent contamination of raw fruits and vegetables. X-GreenTM, fueled by Fit, assists operators in minimizing the risk of contamination by microbes that cause food-borne illnesses,” says Bigott. Todd Wichmann, president and CEO of HealthPro adds, “Fit has peer-reviewed and scientifically published data that proves all-natural FIT kills 99.9 percent of harmful bacteria, like e. coli and salmonella, that have been associated with food-borne illness on cut, chopped, peeled, and other processed produce. Partnering with SteelKor will allow FIT to perform at a whole new level.” Bigott indicated that it is this reason SteelKor concluded FIT was right for optimizing the cleaning power of X-GreenTM. “You can see the difference,” says Wichmann.
