PURE Bioscience to Debut Safety Solutions at IAFP Show
PURE Bioscience, Inc., creator of the patented non-toxic silver dihydrogen citrate antimicrobial, is set to unveil its newest food safety solutions at the 2024 International Association for Food Protection show in Long Beach, Calif., July 14-17.
The company’s food safety program, developed without the use of chlorine, quaternary ammonium compounds, or peroxyacetic acid, provides cleaning and disinfecting solutions for all food safety needs using the company’s patented SDC molecule. SDC, one of the most powerful antimicrobials developed in decades, is colorless, odorless and non-irritating, which makes disinfecting quick, effective and easy to use.
PURE Hard Surface rapidly eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi including Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella with kill times as fast as 30 seconds. PURE Hard Surface disinfectant has been registered for use on food contact surfaces without requiring a rinse. The non-irritating formula means no personal protective equipment is required, and the product meets the lowest Environmental Protection Agency hazard rating, which requires no first aid warnings. Using PURE’s application systems, one gallon can cover up to 40,000 cubic feet.
PURE Control is an antimicrobial food processing aid that quickly reduces pathogens including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli on treated produce, berries, and poultry. PURE Control is an odorless, non-toxic solution that lowers the risk of cross-contamination and strengthens downline intervention steps, but is also used as a standalone processing aid. There is no effect to the texture, taste, or color of treated food and no label declaration is required.
PURE Hi-Foam Cleaner is an effective dilutable concentrate that produces long-lasting, high-density foam that can be adjusted based on specific needs. The foam is easily rinsed without leaving a film. This unique formula was designed to complement the high efficacy of PURE Hard Surface. It is non-corrosive, non-irritating, and is suitable for use on all food and non-food contact surfaces including food processing equipment, spiral freezers, belts, conveyors, walls, floors, drains, and piping systems.
PURE Multi-Purpose Cleaner was designed to complement the high efficacy of PURE Hard Surface in successful sanitation practices in food processing plants, transportation sanitization, and commercial kitchens where a high foaming cleaner is not desirable. This is an economical concentrate that is easy to use and rinses easily without leaving a film.
PURE Hi-Foam Cleaner and Multi-Purpose Cleaner are environmentally responsible cleaning products and are protected by SDC which ensures quality and safety without human or environmental exposure to toxic chemical preservatives. Our non-toxic, environmentally responsible cleaners contain no EDTA, phosphates, ammonia, or bleach and contain no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Effective food safety procedures and food product quality are essential parts of the food industry. PURE Bioscience offers specialized equipment application solutions that can effectively reduce your food processing risk and save valuable time and resources.
SDC-based products ensure significant results with minimal risk to equipment and personnel. By connecting with your food sanitation team, PURE offers unique applications and solution methodology to support a food safety program on any level.
Meet our team in Long Beach at the IAFP Annual Meeting at booth #429. Stop by our booth or reach out to reserve a remaining time slot to discuss how PURE’s innovative food safety and sanitation solutions can bring value to your team, and help you achieve your food safety goals.

‘Distinctly, Deliciously European’ Awareness Campaign Rolls Out
The producers of Grana Padano PDO cheese and Prosciutto di Parma PDO are at the center of a joint promotional campaign that seeks to raise awareness about these unique European foods among American and Canadian retailers, chefs and consumers. The program, which has been named “Distinctly, Deliciously European” will emphasize the importance of quality, authenticity and tradition.
Grana Padano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma are prime examples of what the Protected Designation of Origin symbol indicates– they are produced by real people, in specific geographical regions of Europe using centuries-old techniques, to handcraft incomparably delicious food that cannot be replicated, mass-produced or processed anywhere else.
Both products will be featured at The Texas Restaurant Show as part of “Distinctly, Deliciously European” on July 14 and 15. Held in San Antonio by The Texas Restaurant Association, the yearly exhibition will be attended by restaurateurs, chefs and industry executives.
To learn more about the Distinctly, Delicious European campaign or to enjoy delicious samples of Grana Padano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma, visit booth #741.

Smithfield Foods, Mercy Chefs Aid Flooding Victims in Iowa
Smithfield Foods delivered 34,000 pounds of protein to Rock Valley, Iowa, to provide free, restaurant-quality hot meals to victims, first responders and volunteers impacted by severe flooding across Northwest Iowa.
As a local employer with more than 600 employees in nearby Sioux Center and Orange City, Iowa, Smithfield delivered the protein donation today to Mercy Chefs, a Portsmouth, Va.-based nonprofit that deploys to disaster zones across America. Donated food items included loins, ribs and pork chops, and will provide over 140,000 servings of protein.
“Recent catastrophic flooding has left many of our Northwest Iowa neighbors without basic necessities like electricity, drinking water and food,” said Jonathan Toms, senior community development manager for Smithfield Foods. “By partnering with Mercy Chefs, we’re able to provide support and hope for our neighbors in critical times of need as the community continues to recover from storm damage.”
Mercy Chefs’ mobile kitchen and smoker will be serving restaurant-quality meals in Rock Valley, Iowa, to anyone in the community in need. The team will also distribute meals to those unable to make it to the base of operations. To donate or find out how to volunteer locally, visit mercychefs.com/donate-iowa-flooding-response.
“As we respond to the heartbreaking disaster in Iowa, we are incredibly grateful to Smithfield Foods for standing with us,” said Chef Gary LeBlanc, founder and CEO of Mercy Chefs. “Their support enables us to provide thousands of high-quality, chef-prepared meals to those suffering through this crisis.”
Smithfield’s hunger relief program, Helping Hungry Homes, has provided hundreds of millions of servings of protein all 50 U.S. states, as well as in Poland, Romania and Mexico, since 2008. Smithfield donated nearly 28 million servings of protein to food banks, disaster relief efforts and community outreach programs across the U.S. in 2023 and has pledged to donate 200 million servings of protein by 2025.
