ATO STAR

Raw foods such as hemp, flax and sprouted seeds are economically valuable and highly nutritious products. However, there are many entry points for pathogens along the nutritional value chain from farm to package. In addition, current food safety practices rely on sampling, which cannot guarantee the detection of randomly distributed pathogens. Evidence of this can be presented as a mass recall of contaminated raw food products each year, resulting in lawsuits, negative consumer perception, hospitalization and death. However, there is currently no approved and effective preservative practice that ensures raw food is safe for human consumption.

Organic food grade cleaner Ato Star ® was developed to address these food safety issues and is currently the only approved method for Kanaciado preventative sanitation. AtoStar ® . destroys pathogens by contact, but does not alter the taste, smell, appearance or nutritional profile of foods. Having a proprietary formulation, Ato Star ® is non-toxic, non-hazardous and completely biodegradable after application. Thanks to its commercial-scale proven efficacy in hundreds of tons of raw seeds, Ato Star ® is quickly recognized by regulators, manufacturers and retailers as the standard treatment for the preventive control of pathogens on raw foods. AtoStar ® You can finally have peace of mind.

Effective

Ato Star ® is the first state-approved organic cleaning product for the control of micropiars in dry foods. Current practice, based on certificates of analysis obtained by sampling, does not guarantee the detection of all contaminations.

Ato Star ® main mode of operation is a strong oxidizer produced at the nephr pH level. It has been proven to be effective in controlling pathogens in dry foods. In approved laboratory tests, Ato Star ® Provides at least 5 log reduction against pathogens such as Salmonella and E. Coli.

Outside the laboratory, the effectiveness of all disinfectants is affected by several variables. Factors such as soil level, initial microbial load, biofilm and weather can all affect effectiveness. Given these inputs, Ato Star ® consistently reduces microbes to meet food safety limits and quality specifications found in commercial applications on a wide range of dry foods.

Safe

Ato Star ® is a patent formulation of nature-derived, food-grade, certified organic compounds. It is a solution prepared with water, applied on dry foods by fogging method.

The environmental and human safety profile of Ato Star ® has been reviewed and approved by the Canadian government as part of product approval.

When Ato Star ® is applied to dry foods, it destroys microbes by contacting them, and then turns into water and carbon dioxide without leaving any residue.

Ato Star ® does not cause clumping because it does not trigger mucilage release in dry foods such as chia and flax. Therefore, it does not cause a change in taste, smell, appearance and nutritional values ​​after harvest.

The mode of action of Ato Star ® has been extensively documented to destroy a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Reactive oxygen species form radicals that disrupt chemical bonds in the cell membrane, degrade DNA and inhibit enzyme activity. This fast, multistage mode of action virtually eliminates the possibility of microbial resistance. In addition , the new formulation of Ato Star ® allows the product to penetrate crevices, cracks and biofilms.

Why It Works

Ato Star ® is applied with fogging on dry foods in systems specially produced for application. Given the contact-killing mechanism of Ato Star ® , maximum coverage on dry foods is required to achieve the best effect. Application rates are adapted for all types of dry food. After application, dry foods are left for a few hours to dry the surface moisture (if necessary).

How to Apply

Ato Star ® is part of an integrated solution that includes application equipment, microbiological sampling and support,
