It is a kitchen product for the new millennium: the ATI-2005 Home Produce Sanitizer from Food Safety Systems, Inc. This hot, new gizmo reportedly offers households the previously unobtainable capability for decontamination and sterilization of agricultural produce, shell fish, poultry and meat, while being compact enough to fit on a drain board or under the sink in any household kitchen.

The ATI-2005, due out shortly after the first of the year, inactivates and eliminates pesticides and pathogens via UV-oxidation processes and micro-filtration. The self-contained sanitizer (only power and water are required), safely washes and disinfects fruits and vegetables, et. al., using an automated agitated wash cycle and spray wand, and works in conjunction with any stainless steel wash basin. Moreover, the product comes with GAC and proprietary D.E. micro-filtration packets, is HACCP protocol compliant and EPA/OSHA friendly, uses High ORP (oxidation reduction potential) disinfection agents, features externally visible control panel gauges, and provides easy and quick access to internal parts for low maintenance.

No, it won’t slice, it won’t dice, but it may just be the answer American households have been looking for regarding the ultimate in food safety in the home.
