FruitGard is a dry, chlorine dioxide fumigant. Approved in 2019 by the EPA for use in tomato, cantaloupe and potato storage and transportation makes it the only product of this kind registered by both the EPA and the FDA. Having both makes FruitGard an easy choice for growers/shippers and processors looking for a means to deal with decay-friendly harvest-time weather and/or long supply chains. FruitGard is a simple, reliable and affordable additional layer to a modern food protection strategy.
