JC 9465 Earns EPA FIFRA and USDA Organic Approval

Jenfitch, Inc. has obtained both EPA FIFRA and USDA Organic Standard (7 CFR Part 205) approval for JC 9465, a proprietary sodium oxychloride formulation designed as an agricultural treatment solution. This dual approval clears the way for JC 9465 to be used across a wide range of organic and conventional agricultural operations.

A versatile agricultural treatment

JC 9465 was developed to address multiple agricultural needs within a single product. Its approved applications span the full production cycle, from the field to the packing house.

  • Crop production aid
  • Disease and pest control
  • Fertilizer and soil amendment
  • Livestock production support
  • Post-harvest facility processing

Performance and effectiveness

Independent testing demonstrates that JC 9465 delivers rapid, powerful disinfection well beyond the capabilities of conventional chlorine.

  • 12 to 24 times more effective than chlorine against biofilms, bacteria, viruses, and spores.
  • Achieved a 6-log CFU reduction in under 10 seconds against E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella in a UC Davis study.
  • Demonstrated cross-contamination elimination in apple harvesting trials at the University of Washington.

Electrochemical potential

JC 9465 measures 2.8 eV, matching the electrochemical potential of hydroxyl radical ions and exceeding ozone's 2.04 eV rating. This high oxidation potential is the foundation of its rapid disinfection performance.

Cost advantage

Beyond its performance, JC 9465 offers a substantial economic benefit. Installation and operating expenses represent less than 1% of the cost of conventional ozone systems, making advanced oxidation accessible to a far broader range of growers and processors.

About the approval

With EPA FIFRA registration and USDA Organic certification in hand, JC 9465 is positioned to support both organic and conventional agriculture. The company is headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA.
