How safe is Clorox Anywhere? Can it really be used around food prep areas?

One of my newest favorite cleaners is Clorox Anywhere. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought it might be really good to use around food preparation areas, like the refrigerator. Or, at least that's what I thought, until I read the fine print at the bottom of the TV commercial. The ad shows a woman spraying the Clorox Anywhere in her fridge and says that the product is safe to use in places where you can't use ordinary cleaners. But, the fine print says that you should read and follow the directions on the label. And, that made me wonder what they could be hiding. The TV advertisement makes the product seem really harmless and organic, almost like water. But, that warning is kind of strange. And, that got me to thinking, Clorox Anywhere is still a bleach based product right? And, bleach isn't that safe around food. So why does the TV ad make it seem as if it is? So, I was wondering if anyone had tried this product or could answer that question as to whether it can really be used in the refrigerator or around food. If so, please let me know.

I use this product, but I'm not sure if I can answer your question. I do not use it around my food. I only use to clean my daughter toys, my computer keyboard, the telephone, the remote control, the faucets, and the door knobs. It doesn't have an odor to it so I guess it is safe to use anywhere. I'm looking at the bottle now and it doesn't have a warning sign on it beside the one to keep out of reach of children. It also states that it is gentle enough to use around kids, pets and food; No harsh fumes, Leaves no harmful residue; No rinsing necessary; and its Color Safe. I hope this has helped a little bit.
