What is the SmartFresh™ Quality System? |

SmartFresh™Technology Product Safety

Health and the Environment

More than 80 comprehensive international health and environmental tests have proven SmartFresh technology to be safe for workers, consumers and the environment.

Studies and tests have been carried out strictly under internationally accepted Good Laboratory and Experimental Practices by well-known, experienced and respected research organizations.

SmartFresh technology has shown compliance with the very strict, international FAO specifications (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), considered as a global standard for product quality and safety.

Globally recognized and registered

SmartFresh technology is approved and registered in 38 countries, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. and the European Union. As worldwide demand for our products and services continues to grow, AgroFresh continuously seeks new registrations.

Residue free

SmartFresh technology application does not leave any residues neither in nor on the fruit, nor in the environment. The explanation is simple: SmartFresh technology’s active ingredient is made out of carbon and hydrogen. After it attaches to the ethylene receptor site, it is broken down by the fruit’s natural process and biodegrades into simple molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The carbon and hydrogen are like the carbon and hydrogen naturally present in the environment and the fruit,  which is why there is no trace left from SmartFresh technology. The whole process takes no more than 24 hours.
