TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Food Safe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:FSIJ) is pleased to announce that it has completed an Agency agreement with Apollo Scientific, a Ukraine based company to distribute our food safety ozone equipment. Apollo Scientific is a private R&D company, with connections in both the retail and Military sectors of Europe. Apollo Scientific will work with Food Safe International to provide sales of Food Safe products to retail, government, military and wholesale sectors within the European market.
Apollo Scientific is also currently working on several R&D projects that can be directly applied to food safety. Food Safe International will explore these opportunities with Apollo Scientific as we move ahead to determine if additional revenue streams can be generated for Food Safe International.
Food safety is an extremely important issue that affects all of the world's people. Countries in the world are becoming increasingly more independent on both their food supply availability and food safety. Food Safe International plans to be in a position to provide both the equipment and processes needed to meet the escalating demands of the world in respect to food safety.
About Food Safe: The main goal of Food Safe is to eliminate food safety and sanitation issues and provide methods to improve procedures to minimize risk and liability. Food is one of the most mobile commodities traded internationally. Consumers are asking more questions and demanding answers. Whether the commodity is spices (insect contamination), beef (E. coli), strawberries (Hepatitis A, salmonella), fish (mercury) or any of thousands of foods traded globally, consumers and buyers are demanding new standards of quality, safety and nutritional value.
Protecting people from food borne illness is Food Safe's number-one priority. Food Safe's comprehensive program is a proactive approach to food safety. Spurred into action by food crises in the global beef industry, there is an international consensus that producers and food industry stakeholders require a reliable methodology and technology for verifying food production and food safety.
