Disinfectant for food

[lbassi]

I would welcome any and all ideas about how to disinfect produce while staying in Mexico. I have read that there is a product called Sans Bac but I don't know where to buy it. I don't know of any other product nor do I know how to use a diluted bleach solution that one of my friends suggested. Thanks to all. Larry

You may purchase anti-bacterial for produce at any Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Costco etc. in various sizes. The product we use was purchased at Sam's Club and is called Microdyn.
Purchase blemish free fruits and vegetables. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Before we spent 5 weeks in Mexico, I called Clorox and asked how to disinfect produce ... this is what he told me and what we did:
First, you purify your rinse water by adding 4 drops of Clorox bleach (Regular scent only) to 1 quart of water. Let this mixture stand for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight bleach smell. If not, add 4 more drops of bleach and let stand for 15 minutes before using.
To disinfect your produce, mix 1/2 teaspoon Clorox bleach (regular scent only) to 1 gallon water. Soak fruits and vegetables for 2 minutes. Rinse with the purified water you made (above).
You can buy Clorox bleach in Mexico, just be sure it is the regular scent. I took an eye dropper with me. Enjoy!

all supermarkets have the special solution for vegetables, its usually on a rack around the vegetable area. normally place the vegetables in water and drop a couple of drops for 15 to 30 minutes.
for water, why battle the bleach process, you can pick up 2 or 3 water filtration jugs that come with a special filter.
