A method for reducing at least one of:
- a) edible matter decay, b) pathogen load on a substrate;
- the method comprising:
- providing an edible matter or a substrate;
- and
- contacting said edible matter or said substrate with a composition comprising an effective amount of a sanitizing agent, wherein said sanitizing agent consists of a) an oxidizing agent comprising hydrogen peroxide;
- and b) a plurality of carboxylic acids, a plurality of carboxylate salts thereof, or both;
- and wherein:
