Post# of 24
Proven Fast Kill of Norovirus, E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria -- Provides 24-Hour Residual Protection
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 8, 2016) - PURE Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: PURE), creator of the patented silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, today discussed its best-in-class food safety solutions for eliminating pathogens in restaurant operations, including Norovirus, E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria. PURE's recent traction in its sales and marketing outreach to restaurant chains highlights the proven superior safety and efficacy of the PURE Total Solution: SDC-based PURE® Hard Surface food contact surface disinfectant plus recently FDA approved PURE Control® (for use directly on fresh produce or raw poultry during processing).
PURE Hard Surface - Restaurant Food Safety Solution
PURE is revolutionizing restaurant food safety with the most effective, user friendly antimicrobial disinfectant available. Proven in extensive testing, it eliminates a broader range of microorganisms in restaurant operations faster and more safely than sanitizers currently in use today.
Superior efficacy -- 96% improved overall sanitation vs. leading competitor's quaternary ammonia product.
Eliminates Norovirus in 60 seconds -- a leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in the US.
Norovirus is not eliminated by competitive sanitizers as conventionally used today.
Faster kill against Listeria, E. coli, Salmonella and other foodborne pathogens.
24-hour residual protection.
Mitigates bacterial resistance.
Lowest toxicity -- user and environment friendly.
Restaurant customers using PURE Hard Surface disinfectant presently include:
Two Casual Dining chains and one Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain which have recently adopted PURE Hard Surface to fight Norovirus.
Four additional chains are in the midst of the evaluation process.
SUBWAY® Restaurants* use in approx. 7,100 stores (25% penetration) to date on food contact surfaces including produce slicers, cutting/sandwich board, prep tables and dining tables. The product has recently been approved for expanded use on ice machines -- and is being evaluated for additional areas of use.
Hank R. Lambert, CEO of PURE said, "Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in restaurants. It has gained heightened visibility in the media recently, most notably with the Chipotle Mexican Restaurants outbreaks that have led to a Federal Grand Jury investigation. The impact that these outbreaks can have on human health as well as a company's brand is devastating. Use of PURE Hard Surface by restaurant chains can provide superior protection against Norovirus versus products currently being used... and go a long way toward providing safer food for consumers and protecting the restaurant's most valuable asset -- its brand."
