What is MEDIGRADE™? The New Standard for Fruit Safety
In a world where 'organic' is often used loosely, true safety comes from verification. At Fruit Story, we introduced MEDIGRADE™ to solve a critical problem: how do you know your fruit is actually free from harmful chemicals?
The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Fruits
Many commercially available fruits are treated with a cocktail of pesticides, fungicides, and artificial waxes to enhance their appearance and shelf life. While these methods may make the fruit look appealing, they often leave behind residues that can be harmful, especially to vulnerable groups. Even some organic fruits, while grown without synthetic pesticides, may still be exposed to environmental contaminants or cross-contamination during transport.
The 3 Pillars of MEDIGRADE™
- NABL Lab Screening: Every single batch is rigorously tested in NABL-accredited labs. We test for a wide range of specific parameters including lead, arsenic, mercury, and common pesticide residues to ensure they are well below detectable or safe limits.
- Strict Thresholds: We follow safety thresholds that are stricter than standard organic certifications. These limits are designed specifically for individuals with compromised immunity, ensuring that the fruit is safe for even the most sensitive systems.
- Hygienic Handling: Safety doesn't stop at the farm. From harvest to your home, Medigrade fruits are handled with medical-grade hygiene protocols. This minimizes the risk of bacterial or viral contamination during sorting, packing, and delivery.
Comparing the Standards
Understanding the difference between Medigrade, Organic, and Conventional fruits is crucial for making informed choices:
- Conventional: Often high in pesticide residue, may use chemical ripening agents, standard handling.
- Organic: Grown without synthetic pesticides, but final product testing is often random or batch-limited. Handling varies.
- MEDIGRADE™: Verified free of harmful residues through batch-specific NABL testing. Stricter safety limits. Medical-grade hygienic handling.
Who Needs MEDIGRADE™?
This grade is specifically designed for cancer patients undergoing treatment, pregnant women who need pure nutrition for fetal development, and young children whose developing bodies are most susceptible to toxins. It is also the ideal choice for anyone with a compromised immune system or those simply seeking the absolute safest fruit option available.
Verified at Consumption
Most certifications verify the farm or the process. We verify the *fruit itself*. Before any Medigrade batch is released for sale online, it must pass our rigorous lab clearance. This ensures that what you eat is exactly what we promise: Clean & Safe. We believe peace of mind is just as important as the nutritional value of the fruit itself.
