What would it be like if food could wash itself? We would not have to use products in order to make our produce safe to consume. An engineer in the United States has created dissolvable fruit labels that clean food as well. These food labels will appear the same as all food labels on produce, as a sticker that states whom the producer is and the code for the product as well. It is the same shape and size as the non-cleaning original labels.
How does this work? Well, you have asked the right person... The labels dissolve into an organic soap mixture that is used as a cleaning product that helps with the removal of substances, bacteria, and chemicals that are on the fruit and vegetable's surface- for example, like wax and/or pesticides. These Fruitwash Labels are resistant to water, but they dissolve when the label is rubbed. Are there any negative aspects to the labels? No. The Fruitwash labels function the exact same way as the original and traditional label in a since that the labels still hold the same retail information that is necessary for selling and buying purposes. When will the labels appear in our local grocery stores? Good question! The produces of the dissolvable food labels are waiting for an investor to purchase only ten percent of their Fruitwash Label Intellectual Property. The goal for the release is the summer of 2012- so soon!
By produce having dissolvable labels, energy, water, paper towels, and any other product that is used to clean fruits and vegetables would be eliminated. Also, it would create less waste because the label would not be thrown away, it would simply just go away!
