BerryBreeze Warns: A Trip To The Grocery Store May Bring Bacteria And Sickness Into Your Kitchen

LAS VEGAS, July 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Developers of BerryBreeze™, a new device that keeps food fresh using naturally found approaches, are warning that simply bringing meats, produce and other groceries into your home's refrigerator can dramatically increase the amount of bacteria in your kitchen.

Said Kevin Brooks, COO of BerryBreeze™, "We like to think of our kitchen as one of the cleanest environments in our home but the truth is, no matter how clean you keep your refrigerator, the moment you place groceries inside you set off a chain of events where bacteria can thrive and multiply rapidly."

Brooks points out that some of these strains of bacteria are so powerful they require as few as 10 microbes to cause sickness.

"With BerryBreeze™ we can shut down the growth of bacteria simply, safely and at the same time keep food fresher longer," said Brooks. "It may seem like a far-fetched claim but the truth is, activated oxygen is being used around the world to keep food fresher longer while suppressing the growth of germs. Our compact device brings this technology into the family kitchen."

No matter how clean your kitchen and your refrigerator are, you are fighting a losing battle; bacteria double every 20 to 30 minutes, which means that in as little as eight hours one bacterium can generate nearly 17 million duplicate bacteria. The cycle is renewed with every trip to the grocery store as raw meats, vegetables and hot foods that are allowed to cool before refrigeration are all new sources of bacteria and potential illness.

From a test of 30 salad drawers, scientists found an average of 7,850 bacteria per square centimeter. Unless you are cleaning your refrigerator on an hourly basis, your kitchen is far from being one of the cleanest, germ-free places in your home.

BerryBreeze™ created a YouTube channel that features several videos on the device and its green applications in the home at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBerryBreeze?gl=US&hl=en&client=mv-google&nomobile=1
