CYCLOPSS Produces Safe, Healthy Food at the Kitchen Counter
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec 19, 2000 (BW HealthWire) -- CYCLOPSS Corp. (OTCBB: OZON chart, msgs) Tuesday announced it will soon be adding a new consumer appliance for the decontamination of foods in the kitchen to its Healthy Home product line-up.
The ECO-PURE, KITCHEN COMPANION (available early next year, expected retail $89.95) treats produce and poultry in a counter-top appliance that uses activated oxygen (Ozone) in cold water to kill E. COLI, SALMONELLA, LISTERIA and other food bourne micro-organisms on contact. It has been designed to be extremely easy to use.
Simply fill the Kitchen Companion with ordinary tap-water, turn it on and after a few minutes cycle, the water is poured off and fresh foods, such as fruits and vegetables are ready to eat or use, and poultry is ready for the frypan or the oven.
In addition to the reduction of food bourne germs, the foods are also generally healthier because activated oxygen (Ozone) leaves no chemical residue on the food surfaces.
"Ozone kills E. Coli 3,125 times faster than chlorine and has been widely used for decades in several disinfection processes for products such as bottled water," said Dr. Durand Smith, Director of R&D, Cyclopss.
He continued, "During the last few years Cyclopss, and its subsidiary OXIDYN, have been working with various food and beverage producers to incorporate Ozone's use in production.
"While these efforts are important, it is ultimately the consumer who must be provided the tools to combat food bourne illness in the home in order to best defend their families' health. The Kitchen Companion will be another strong ally in providing that defense."
Cyclopss anticipates manufacturing the appliance via its Taiwanese partner, Rich Electric. Other Healthy Home products are currently available from the company's website, www.cyclopss.com, with The ECOPURE Kitchen Companion expected to be available as well by early second quarter.
CYCLOPSS is a world leader in the development of ozone technology and applications for healthcare, consumers and industry.
