Dosatron International Announces Sanitation
Solutions for the Food Industry
Dosatron International
Inc. today announced
the availability of several
Dosatron chemical injectors
capable of injecting foods
peracetic acid, an FDAapproved sanitation product.
These field-tested injectors
were developed in response to the new FDA regulations
regarding disinfection in the food industry, specifically the
tomato sector.
“Simply installed within the water lines, these injectors
will contribute to improvements in food management
practices by helping food growers and packagers fight
pathogen element outbreaks,” said Eddy Kelly, President
of Dosatron International.
Dosatron International’s research and development team
tested several modifications before finding the best solution
for the injection of peracetic acid. The new injectors have
tested successfully in the field for over three years.
Additional information and injector selection help are

Healthful Plant Nutrients Also Found In
Meat and Milk
A comprehensive study done on the phytoestrogen,
those healthful nutrients associated with fruits and
vegetables, shows that they also exist in foods of animal
origin. The study, which analyzed 115 foods of animal
origin, shows that the amounts of phytoestrogen’s
people consume has been underestimated. In animal
products, phytoestrogens are low when compared to
soy products, but the range is similar to that of many
vegetables.
