PURE Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: PURE), creator of the patented silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, today announced that it received a “No Objection Letter” from the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) granting approval for SDC-based PURE Control to be used as a spray or dip applied to poultry carcasses, parts and organs in pre-OLR (on-line reprocessing) and post chill processing of fresh poultry. PURE Control will be listed in FSIS’ Directive 7120.1, “Safe and Suitable Ingredients Used in the Production of Meat, Poultry and Egg Products” in the next scheduled revision.
Begins Immediate Commercialization for Pre-OLR and Post Chill Applications
The commercialization of PURE Control for these newly approved applications is underway and the Company is already in discussions with several major poultry processors to begin in-plant validation and optimization testing.
The approval for these new uses allows immediate access to multiple poultry processing application points outside of OLR and enables PURE to begin sales to poultry processors.
Hank R. Lambert, Chief Executive Officer, said that, “We are pleased to achieve another important milestone in our strategy to introduce our game changing SDC technology to poultry processors. With this ‘No Objection Letter’ and 7120.1 listing in hand, we are moving forward with several of the top poultry processors to evaluate using PURE Control in their plants. As with each first time user of PURE Control, that process will include in-plant validation and optimization analysis over the next few months.”
PURE continues its on-going plant trials to optimize the application of PURE Control in OLR to gain USDA approval for use in that stage of poultry processing and anticipates completion in the third calendar quarter this year.
PURE Control®
A non-toxic intervention to dramatically reduce prevalent pathogens including Salmonella and Campylobacter, PURE Control can now be applied to poultry carcasses and parts during processing before the OLR stage and after the immersion chiller stage.
PURE Control maximizes microbial control and is highly effective against Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, Campylobacter and many other pathogens. During extensive laboratory testing, and in simulated plant conditions, application of PURE Control to raw poultry carcasses during processing has demonstrated the potential to reduce Salmonella to below detection levels. The plant trials and testing that PURE is conducting are anticipated to confirm a meaningful reduction in pathogens in commercial application. This addresses the top priority of the USDA in its Salmonella Action Plan, to reduce the presence of Salmonella in poultry sold to consumers by 50% from current levels. Presently approximately 28% of raw poultry sold to consumers contains Salmonella.
