No, ozone will not kill produce.
Ozone is commonly used in food storage applications to prolong the shelf life of produce by killing bacteria and mold that will shorten the shelf life. Also, ozone will break down natural levels of Ethelyne from the fruit and slow the ripening process.
However, it is important to maintain a safe level of ozone and this will vary with produce to not negatively affect the produce. Ozone levels should always be below 0.5 ppm, and usually below 0.08 ppm, the OSHA level for human safety.

What substance must be added to city water to kill germs?
Either chlorine or ozone.
Is O3 a free radical?
O3 is ozone and is not a free radical. It may; however, produce free radicals.
Why is ozone in stratosphere oxygen in troposphere when the mass of ozone is higher than oxygen?
Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, at any altitude. It's true that ozone molecules, O3, are heavier than regular oxygen gas O2, but mixtures of gases do not layer out by mass or density -- they thoroughly mix. In the stratosphere, however, the higher levels of ultraviolet radiation produce fresh ozone from diatomic oxygen, so ozone concentrations remain higher in this region.
What gas molecule found in Earths atmosphere is made up of three oxygen atoms?
You are thinking of ozone.
When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?
When an electrical spark passes through air, it turns some of the oxygen into ozone. Lightning is a big electrical spark. So it is the lightning in the thunderstorm that creates the ozone. Some swimming pools in the United States use ozone instead of chlorine to kill the bacteria. Likewise some municipal water systems in Europe use ozone instead of chlorine to kill bacteria. They use sparks to turn the oxygen in air into ozone.
How do computers produce ozone?
computer not produce ozone laser printer does
Will ozone kill ringworm spores?
Yes, ozone can. Ozone is a pollutant at ground level.
Can ozone kill ring worms?
Ring worm is a FUNGAL infection of the skin and not a "worm". Ozone can not kill it.
What produces surface ozone?
Vehicles produce ground ozone. It is a pollutant.
Does ozone kill bananas?
No, ozone will not kill bananas if used in low levels. Ozone is used to prevent ripening of bananas and extend shelf life after they are picked. However, high levels of ozone could damage the banana.
Which season ozone produce less?
Winters produced less ozone. There is depletion in winters.
How do the humans effects the ozone?
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
What does ozone produce?
Ozone does not produce anything. Ozone layer blocks around 97% of the total radiation received by the earth. It acts as a blanket and keeps the atmosphere cool. It is responsible for the survival of life on earth.
How industries can protect ozone layer depletion?
Industries can produce ozone friendly products. These products could help in saving ozone.
Does charcoal have an effect on the ozone layer?
Charcoal burns to produce CO2. It causes ozone depletion.
In which plants is ozone formation expected?
Marigolds produce ozone in their roots to fight predation of their roots. Kudzu appears to produce ozone to clear an area for it to take over. Hopefully someone can comment how we might predict which plants will make ozone (and delete this sentence...).
What are human activities produce chemials that destroy the ozone layer?
Humans create CFCs which are ozone depleting substances. They react with ozone present in ozone layer and deplete it.
