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.
