How Ozone Water Helps Keep Produce Fresher—and Safer

When it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, two things matter most: keeping them fresher longer and keeping your family safer. Ozone water is proving itself in both areas



🍋 Ozone Water Doubles Mango Freshness

A study from Edith Cowan University (2025) found that a simple 10-minute soak in ozonated water extended mango shelf life up to 28 days in cold storage—nearly two extra weeks compared to untreated fruit.

Mangoes treated with ozone water also showed 40% less chilling damage, keeping them looking and tasting better for longer.

Why it matters: Ozone water isn’t just about sanitation—it’s about reducing food waste and saving money at home.

🥒 Cucumber Recall Highlights Food Safety Risks

Not all produce headlines are good news. In 2025, the FDA and CDC linked cucumbers from Bedner Growers to a multistate Salmonella outbreak. Dozens of people across 15 states got sick, and major retailers had to pull the product from shelves.

Why it matters: Foodborne outbreaks like this are a reminder that washing with water alone often isn’t enough.

🌊 Why Choose Ozone Water in the Kitchen?

According to the Water Quality Association (WQA), ozone is the most powerful oxidizer you can safely use in water treatment. When applied to fruits and vegetables at home, ozone water:

  • Inactivates bacteria and viruses on produce surfaces.
  • Breaks down pesticide residues water alone can’t remove.
  • Leaves no chemical residue—ozone naturally reverts to pure oxygen.

That’s the power of Roving Blue’s EO3® electrolytic ozone technology: fresh, clean produce without added chemicals.
