Studies show over and over again that ozonated water is the most effective way at destroying virtually all types of food-borne bacteria and pathogen that cause illness and food spoilage.

Many pesticides and food additives have been proven to cause a variety of health problem, including cancer. Pesticides and most food additives, are made from "organic compounds" and ozone has been proven to break down organic compounds into harmless, non-toxic compounds. Pesticides and other chemicals will typically be found on the surface of food particularly fruits and vegetables. Ozonated water will thoroughly purify the surface of your food.

Bacteria and other microbes cannot build a resistance to ozone; like they do with chlorine, anti-microbial soaps and other conventional disinfectants. Ozone oxidizes (or "burns") the cell of the microbe which effectively destroys it. Cells are unable to build immunity to oxidation; but they can and have become immune to chemical treatments.

Unlike chemical treatments (such as chlorine) and powders, ozone leaves behind no chemical residue or any harmful side effect of any kind. Ozone completely dissipates in 20 minutes and leaves behind pure oxygen after oxidizing bacteria and chemicals.

Ozone does not affect healthy cells within food; or alter the chemistry of the food in any way. After oxidizing bacteria and chemicals, it reverts to pure oxygen. As a result, it will neither affect the natural taste nor smell of food.

The top-Ozone UV-Ozone™ Food Sterilizer is an electronic device, which generates ozone internally; then blows it through an attached tube. The ozone is then added to the water through a diffuser at the end of the tube, which ozonates the water. You simply need to place the diffuser (attached to end of tube) in a container of water large enough to accommodate whatever you need to sterilize. Sterilization of most food and other items will typically take thirty minutes or so.

Food-borne bacteria such as salmonella and E.coli, are also commonly spread through items that come into contact with food.

Since ozone disinfects instantaneously, you can place utensils and dishes in ozonated water between uses while preparing a meal. You can also soak a sponge in ozonated water for a few minutes and wash down counters, utensils and dishes before they come into contact with your food.

One of the common carriers of food illness caused by bacteria are our hands. Ozone will destroy bacteria on hands effectively, completely, naturally and without side effect of any kind. To do so, you can simply keep a container or sink full of ozonated water while preparing a meal and periodically rub your hands together in the water.

Ozonated water effectively kills the organisms that cause food spoilage. By exposing your food to ozonated air or water, your food will last longer, hence maintaining freshness for a longer period.

The use of ozone to purify food, etc is very economical on a small-scale basic, such as in your own kitchen/home.

The top-Ozone UV-Ozone™ Food Sterilizer is capable of doing much more than food sterilization. Ozonators destroy all types of bacteria and break down many chemicals, which enables them to sterilize or disinfect just about anything that can have an effect on your life. The top-Ozone UV-Ozone™ Food Sterilizer can also be used to ozonate the air. This results in a variety of other benefits such as air purification and odor removal.
