Recent research has revealed the potential limits of ozonated sanitizer when it comes to killing bacteria on raw vegetables. While the sanitizer was effective in removing some pathogens from the surface of the produce, it did not completely eliminate them. This means that while ozonated sanitizer may be a good option for reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses, it is not a substitute for proper washing and other food safety practices.
