Fit Produce Wash

Caruso is the exclusive United States and Canada marketer and distributor of Fit Produce Wash to the produce grower, shipper, repacker and processor community.

Fit is a 100% natural product that provides antibacterial benefits for processed produce. Fit has been independently tested and has been verified to provide antibacterial benefits on bacteria such as e.coli, salmonella, listeria, and plant pathogens such as carotovorum, on processed produce. Fit cleans produce better than chlorine based chemicals by removing significantly more, dirt, soil and people handling residues with no smells or aftertastes, while maintaining all beneficial nutrients. Because Fit is 100% natural, it is completely safe for employees and thus no need for protective eye goggles, gloves or masks.

Fit is the only produce wash that is certified Kosher and recommended by the American Vegetarian Association. Because the consumer version of Fit is the Number One most purchased and recognized produce wash in the country, there exist a plethora of cross marketing opportunities to grow produce sales such as couponing and displaying the Fit logo on produce packaging.
