[ Business \| US Market \| Industry \| IPO \| S&P \| International \| PRNews \| BizWire \| Finance Home ] Friday January 9, 2:19 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Alcide Corporation Announces USDA Approval of Sanova REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 1998--Alcide Corporation (NASDAQ:ALCD - news) today announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved Alcide's request for the use of the Sanova(tm) Food Quality System in poultry processing. The System combines an effective broad spectrum antimicrobial developed and patented by Alcide with unique application systems developed by Novus International, Inc. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved the active ingredient of the Sanova Food Quality System (acidified sodium chlorite) as a Secondary Direct Food Additive for use in poultry processing in April, 1996. Joseph A. Sasenick, Alcide's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented that, ''By controlling harmful microorganisms, Sanova improves food quality and safety. The Sanova System significantly reduces key pathogens of concern on poultry carcasses without altering the flavor or texture. Years of testing have shown Sanova to be effective not only against Salmonella and E. coli, which are being measured under new USDA regulations, but also against Campylobacter, Listeria and other food borne pathogens.'' Sasenick went on to say that, ''Unlike radiation and other germicides tested, Sanova kills germs on freshly slaughtered birds while they are still on the automated processing line and before they have a chance to cross contaminate. It interrupts the contamination cycle without interfering with plant operations and at less than $.01 per pound additional cost to the consumer. Alcide and its marketing partner, Novus International, are pleased to make the Sanova Food Quality System available to the poultry industry as a tool to help enhance the safety of our food supply.'' In July, 1996 the USDA issued new rules which adopted the ''HACCP'' (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Systems) model for regulating food quality and safety. The so-called ''Mega-Regs'' take effect on January 26, 1998 and set new standards for control of Salmonella and E. coli in food production and require companies to improve monitoring and documentation of critical control points in their operations. Dr. W.J. Privott, Novus President and CEO said that, ''The Sanova system provides the poultry industry the most effective germicide approved by the USDA. Also, our new Provus(tm) technology, which is used in the application of the germicide, will enable the improvements in process control and documentation that food companies need to help them meet the new HACCP requirements.'' The Company plans to broaden the use of Sanova through regulatory approval and market introduction of the antimicrobial for controlling food borne pathogens on other food products, including red meats, fruits, vegetables and fish. Alcide Corporation develops and markets unique biocidal products based on its patented technology. Alcide currently sells anti-infective products to the animal health market and disinfecting products to the medical industries. Contact: Alcide Corp.
