Bio-Fence announces a breakthrough in Food Safety
January 18 2019 - 2:11AM
Bio-Fence innovating coating technology announced today the
successful completion of an intensive field trial on its innovative
anti-microbial technology Pentagon.
The trial was held in "Milouoff"
(http://www.milouoff.co.il), one of the largest Ready to Eat
poultry production sites in Israel and demonstrated superior
results for Bio-Fence technology compared to alternatives.
According to Mrs. Shiran Davidi, QA manager at Milouoff: “Bio-Fence
technology seems to have clear benefits over existing antimicrobial
solution. It is safe, highly potent and rechargeable.”
The trial involved monitoring the performance of
an epoxy floor coated with Bio-Fence
anti-microbial technology compared to either commercial Silver Ion
coating and a designated control area. Samples were collected by
Milouoff QA teams and sent for analysis by the independent Israeli
Institute for Food Microbiology (https://www.microb.co.il/).
The results showed a significant 3-4
Log reduction of Total Count and
Enterobacteria presences on the area coated with
Bio-Fence, compared with the area coated with
Silver Ion and the control coatings.
Mr. Ofer Shoham, the CEO of Bio-Fence stated:
"We were always aware that our unique anti-microbial technology has
significant advantages over existing solutions and our findings
have now been validated by a field trial conducted and analyzed by
independent third parties."
“Food Safety is a $55 billion problem. We are
looking forward to bring our product to the market and help make
our food safe and bacteria free,” Shoham concluded.
