TORONTO,, March 30, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Produce Safety and Security International Inc, the 'Company,' or (Pink Sheets:PDSS) is pleased to announce that beginning March 29, 2005, PDSS is expanding the use of the state-of-the-art Spherequats 6400, a Cleaner-Disinfectant-Sanitizer-Deodorizer-Fungicide-Mildewstat-Virucide-With Organic Soil Tolerance for Hospitals, Nursing Home, Whirlpool, Home, Veterinary, Restaurant, Food Handling and Process Areas, Bar and Institutional Kitchen Use and for Sanitizing Ice machines to include a Ready-to-Use Spherequat 2525-200. The 200 series is an EPA Registered, Ready-to-Use 200 ppm quaternary active food contact sanitizer that is specifically formulated for use by personnel in food service establishments, homes, schools, institutions, industries, meat/poultry/ food processing plants, dairies, bars, restaurant and cafeterias to sanitize hard, nonporous food contact surfaces. It is easily applied using a mop, sponge cloth or mechanical spray to apply sanitizing solution or immerse item in sanitizing solution. While some companies offer you protection in the form of food contact sanitizers and others offer disinfectants for farm and dairy use, Spherequats 2525-200 combines both in their Disinfectant/Sanitizers; giving complete protection from the 'Stable to the Table.'
According to Mr. Clarence "Bill" Karney, President & CEO of PDSS, "We intend to continue assisting Customer Management in their Plant Risk Reduction and Sanitation programs to control Removal of Pathogens, Bacteria and Food borne microorganisms by providing maintenance personal with ready to use quaternary sanitizers to further ensure the cleanliness of their facilities between professional servicing. The Spherequat 2525-200 was specifically formulated and registered with convenience and safety in mind. No more mixing and handling of chemicals by the customer. Management is also reassured knowing that the product has been formulated to the correct level of quaternary active to assure it performs as registered. These are leave on, no rinse, contact surface sanitizers."
Mr. Karney went on to say, "A recognized expert in the produce industry stated that these extraordinary procedures must become the norm, and not the exception. The food supply has become global with many different countries supplying food products to the U.S. Adding to the challenge of food safety, microorganisms continue to adapt and evolve, often increasing their degree of virulence. While food borne diseases are largely preventable, there is no simple one-step prevention measure like a vaccine. Ozone applications, while effective, must often be complemented by a cost-savings pre-cleaning with EPA Quaternary registered products. Whether a person is a brewer, bottler, food processor, dairy farmer, chicken farmer, beef farmer or operate in any sector of the food, produce and beverage industry, they all share a common requirement, a clean and sanitary operation for production of food, this is the focus of our team at PDSS!"
One of the primary reasons that the team at PDSS is spending all this time and effort is to enhance food safety and risk reduction programs for the entire food industry from the producer, packer, processor, restaurant, hotels, distributor, retail, transportation and the consumer.
PDSS utilizes the Whitewater Ozone Patented Process which has certification documentation from the USDA/FSIS AND OSHA REGS. The Company believes that its programs, systems and proposed distribution centers in the marketplace are second to none. PDSS is looking forward to announcing its new corporate office locations and providing additional information regarding its plans for growth.
