The 'Produce Mate' is an antimicrobial product for the kitchen that will help to reduce the amount of wasted food that's created by a family on a daily basis. The mat is crafted from 100% food-safe silicone and is intended to be position onto a surface inside of a fridge where produce is placed. The mat will then go work with embedded minerals that help to fight against the accumulation of bacteria that can lead to fruits and vegetables spoiling before they can be eaten.
