TORONTO, June 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Food Safe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:FSIJ) is pleased to announce that it has finalized its Letter of Intent with I.M. International Trading Corp., a Nevis-based company, to distribute our food safe process. I.M. International will represent Food Safe International in the Caribbean and act as a gateway for distribution of the food safe process and additional food safety products throughout the Caribbean.
Food Safe International will begin with the distribution of ozone purification equipment available to Food Safe International via an affiliate partner. Ozone equipment is expected to be available for shipping over the next few months. I.M.

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.
