Food Safe International - Apollo Scientific Group to Begin Marketing and Distribution Agreement with Ozone Technologies, Inc.
TORONTO, Dec 13, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Food Safe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:FSIJ), soon to be renamed Apollo Scientific Group, announced today that the Company plans to begin implementation of a marketing and distribution agreement with Ozone Technologies, Inc. and to be a distributor of their product line, including truck-washing equipment.
Ozone Technologies, Inc. offers a revolutionary patented water sterilization and purification system which uses a safe, low-voltage electric current to create natural ozone that sterilizes and purifies tap water without the use of chemicals. After ozone has completed purification, it reverts back to pure, natural oxygen. The result is "Pure" FDA-quality water (meets FDA guidelines for "Pure" water) along with the natural sanitizing power to kill germs and bacteria, like Salmonella and E. coli, on contact. It is the only water treatment system that provides both sterilization and purification right from the faucet.
"There are no other products like the Ozone products on the market today. The water industry provides many purification choices to consumers, such as filters, UV systems, and reverse osmosis systems, yet nothing was previously available allowing the consumer to simultaneously kill bacteria in water and on surfaces, or help in the reduction of microbial contamination within the kitchen or food preparation environment," stated FSIJ's new CEO, Mr. Zabolotsky.
FSIJ's patent-pending "Food Safe" process was designed to minimize, if not eliminate, such disease risks with unique proprietary spray applications of "Food Safe" materials to fruits and vegetables after an initial chlorine bath. FSIJ's solution of water, citric acid (to maintain desired water Ph), chlorine, and ozone proprietary material are sprayed on the produce. While the solution effectively reduces or eliminates microbial pathogens, such as E. coli, and reduces the amount of chlorine usage by 30% to 50%, the company's program continuously monitors water quality, Ph, chlorine concentration and other factors to insure produce safety in accordance with current health recommendations made by The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF).
"The integration of the Ozone product line with FSIJ's process should yield unprecedented and far superior results than previously anticipated. Ozone has been proven to kill bacteria, destroy viruses, and water-borne parasites. Ozone has also been proven to kill germs up to 3,200 times faster than chlorine -- with absolutely no chemical residue. Adding an ozonation product of Tru-Pure's caliber to the FSIJ process will effectuate an overwhelming solution to the domestic and international concerns of food-borne related illnesses from microbial contamination," added FSIJ's new CEO, Mr. Zabolotsky.
Further, Food Safe International, Inc. - Apollo Scientific Group intends to focus its marketing efforts on restaurants, grocery stores, food processors, hotels, cruise lines and military sector by establishing working relationships with government agencies in order to provide food safety services in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Russia and Ukraine.
