Food Safety

Just Gentle Fruit & Veggie Wash uses 100% natural, plant-derived ingredients to lift pesticide residue, agricultural wax, and surface bacteria from produce. Dilute or apply directly (follow label instructions), soak briefly, then rinse thoroughly under running water. The food-grade formula leaves no chemical residue after rinsing - safe for babies who may touch or mouth freshly washed produce. More effective than water alone, which does not remove wax coatings or fat-soluble pesticide residue.

Yes. Even certified organic produce carries natural wax coatings, soil bacteria, and handling residues from transport and storage. The Fruit & Veggie Wash removes these surface impurities without leaving any chemical residue of its own. Using a food-grade produce wash on organic fruit and vegetables is the safest way to prepare food for young children, regardless of whether the produce is organic or conventional.

Yes. The food-grade formula is safe for anything that ends up in a baby's mouth - bottles, nipples, pacifiers, teething toys, wooden toys, and produce. It is free from phosphates, harsh surfactants, and synthetic chemicals that can leave residue on items babies mouth regularly. For bottles and feeding equipment specifically, Just Gentle Bottle, Toys & Dish Wash (500ml) is also formulated for this purpose and available as a dedicated product.

Regular dish soap is formulated for adult kitchenware and often contains phosphates, synthetic surfactants, and preservatives that can leave residue on baby bottles - residue that ends up in your baby's feed. Just Gentle Bottle, Toys & Dish Wash is plant-based, biodegradable, and ECOCERT certified - formulated to clean thoroughly and rinse completely clean from all surfaces. No phosphate residue, no synthetic chemical buildup, safe around babies from day one.

Food-grade means a product is certified safe for direct food contact - it can be used on food that will be eaten without causing harm, even if trace amounts remain after rinsing. A food-grade produce wash meets a higher safety standard than regular household cleaning products, which are not designed for food contact and should never be used to wash fruit, vegetables, or feeding equipment. Just Gentle Fruit & Veggie Wash is 100% natural and plant-derived - meeting the food safety standard while being safe enough for a household with babies.
