The Story of How Eco-Safe Systems Inc. Employs Ozonated Water, Nature's Safest & Most Powerful Organic Disinfectant, for Complete Sanitization. Applications for Hazmat Decon (Portable), Fresh Foods and Food Handling Facilities, Water Reclamation, Veterinary, Agricultural, and Dental.
Introducing a 'green' miracle. A safe, cost-effective and organic method of sanitizing fresh seafood, poultry, meat, and produce without leaving any chemical residue. An FDA approved way of eliminating on contact 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, and parasites including food-borne pathogens like E. coli, Shigella, Listeria, Hepatitis-A, Botulinum, and Salmonella. Perishable foods stay fresh and flavorful much longer on the shelf. These wonders come courtesy of Eco-Safe Systems USA (ESFS). The firm owns a patent-pending ozonated water technology that has solved the riddle of food, water, and biological safety. They've landed major names as clients including Whole Foods Markets, Marriott Hotels, Bumble Bee, The Cheesecake Factory, SeaWorld Orlando, Simply Fresh Fruits, wholesale giant Golden West Trading, Halperns (premium meat & seafood distributor), Seafood City, 99 Ranch Market, Natural Balance Pet Foods, famed Crustacean Beverly Hills among others. The insurance industry has taken note and offers substantial premium discounts to food businesses that install Eco-Safe Systems food and water purification equipment.
Called the "gold standard of food safety and freshness and sanitary assured facilities," all Eco-Safe units are quality made in USA, fully compliant with FDA and USDA regulations, and have received HAACP, NSF, and Organic certifications. For an extensive list of pathogens destroyed by ozone click here. Eco-Safe Systems also specializes in wastewater reclamation and manufactures a patent-pending high-capacity unit (MD-2000-2S) for food processing, industrial, and agricultural applications. Wastewater treated by Eco-Safe can be reach or exceed potable purity.
Prodded by public safety agencies, Eco-Safe has introduced a special patent-pending portable Hazmat Decon product line that inactivates biological weapons agents. Their first offering Hazmat R-1000-HM can be pre-ordered and will be available for delivery after July 1, 2012. Separately, Eco-Safe technology can be used by the oil drilling industry in the clean-up of produced water from wells. Given the magnitude of the problem, this new application offers Eco-Safe very large growth potential.
A Natural Germicide and Odor-eater of Unequaled Potency and Safety
Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. makes, sells, and leases an impressive array of ozonated water machines not only for the integrated food industry, from producers to purveyors, but also for farms, homes, factories, trade, police, fire, and military. Employing advanced patent pending technology, Eco-Safe machines create super Oxygen III which instantly dissolves into a flow of cold water. The result is Mother Nature's safest yet most powerful disinfectant and anti-microbial -- USDA Organic, FDA approved, non toxic, and residue free. Eco-Safe units attach to an ordinary cold water intake and yield a stream or spray of ozonated water that disinfects 3100X faster than chlorine wash, destroys even the foulest of odors, and sanitizes foods, preparation surfaces, display cases, equipment, indeed, entire facilities. There is no downside. Electricity costs are minor. The only "residue" is pure oxygen. Microbial kill rate is nearly 100 percent according to controlled scientific studies, and yet ozonated water, up to 50X more powerful than chlorine disinfectant, is harmless to the user.

Eco-Safe Program of Increased Profit Margins
The Company has demonstrated that chain restaurants and supermarkets, large-scale food processors, and wholesale food distributors can increase bottom line profits 25-50% by using Eco-Safe equipment. The Company advertises a four to six month return on investment following installation. Cost reductions are achieved by low shrinkage plus savings in energy, chemicals, and labor. As an added bonus, there are fewer sick days. A typical supermarket using Eco-Safe’s MD-2000 to deliver ozonated water in the produce, fish, meat and poultry food preparation areas can save approximately $12,000 per month in shrinkage. Smaller firms and mom-and-pop outfits can reap substantial savings, as well.
Each year, supermarket chains bury food worth US$20 billion in landfills. The self-evident message from Eco-Safe is that it's more profitable to sell fresh food at full price than it is to throw it away spoiled. Were the food industry to implement Eco-Safe Systems food freshness and purity program, a shameful waste of food could be markedly reduced not to mention drastic reductions in food-borne illness and legal liabilities.

Hghlighted Properties of Eco-Safe Ozonated Water Intervention
1. Eco-Safe powered ozonated water destroys bacteria, viruses, parasites and mold that cause odor, illness, or death. On direct contact, ozone water kills Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Listeria, Shigella, Hepatitis-A, Swine Flu, Norovirus and hundreds of other dangerous or deadly pathogens such as chlorine-resistant spores of Cryptosporidium and Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis spores in particular are highly resilient and can survive extremes of temperature, low-nutrient environments, and harsh chemical treatment for decades or even centuries. Microbial pathogens cannot develop immunity to ozonated water because their cell membranes are by their nature permeable to ozone, nature's strongest oxidizer. Healthy somatic cells remain unaffected. See sidebar. Ozone water neutralizes botulinum toxin and arsenic. It also eradicates NDM-1 antibiotic-resistant "superbugs." For an extensive list of pathogens destroyed by ozone click here.
2. Eco-Safe ozonated water sanitizes fresh foods and food-related working surfaces, utensils, display cases, equipment, and facilities. Reclaims and purifies wastewater for re-use. Neutralizes hazardous biological materials. Reduces or ends reliance on chlorine disinfectant wash, chemical pesticides, bactericides, and fungicides.
3. Leaves no chemical residue. Ozone (O3) dissipates from water after 20-30 minutes in the form of pure oxgyen (O2). Destroys all disagreeable odors of decay and putresence.

-------------------------------------------------------------The Writing on the Wall: Chlorine & Ozone
Chlorine as a disinfectant for water dates to 1850. Its first use in a U.S. public water supply occurred in 1908. Later, chlorine germicide found its way to food and food processing facilities. As a gas, chlorine is explosive, highly toxic, and exceedingly dangerous to handle. Added to public drinking water, chlorine has saved countless lives from water borne illnesses like cholera, typhus, and dysentery although its overall environmental effect is keenly debated. Notwithstanding the powerful chlorine lobby, chlorine's days as the default disinfectant for the food industry may be numbered. Ozonated water as disinfectant is without question the greener, safer, and more powerful alternative to chlorine wash which can leave unhealthy if not carcinogenic chemical residue. Unbeknownst to many American consumers, most domestic poultry products are washed if not soaked in a strong chlorine solution. U.S. consumers therefore have little choice except to eat chlorinated chicken. On the other hand, Russia and the European Union, aware of the dangers posed, have banned all imports of American poultry dosed with chlorine. As if to insinuate the hazard of ingesting chlorine contaminants, the FDA Food Code was amended in 2009 and, for the first time, presses for acceptance of ozone treatment of fruits and vegetables at "food establishments." The National Restaurant Association representing 380,000 member U.S. restaurants has taken the cue; their signature Serv Safe protocol (a requisite for member restaurants) now references cleansing of fresh produce with ozonated water. The FDA push for ozone disinfection at food establishments obviously benefits Eco-Safe.
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act and Eco-Safe Systems
A controversial bill called the "FDA Food Safety Modernization Act" passed during a "lame duck" session of the 111th U.S. Congress and was subsequently signed into law on 04 January 2010. It is the first sweeping change to the 1938 law that granted the FDA enhanced regulatory powers over food and drugs. The new law gives the FDA expanded authority over 80 percent of the nation's food supply (excepting USDA-regulated meat and poultry products) by ceding to that agency mandatory recall authority and expanded access to records and, for the first time, regulatory power over growers. It requires growers and food facilities to implement food safety plans and stipulates that facilities importing foreign food to the U.S. meet the same standards. The act raises the bar on food purity standards and significantly increases penalties for non-compliance. It further integrates food production with oversight by the Homeland Security Department.
Dairy Farm |
The Tester-Hagan amendment to the law establishes certain categorical exemptions and softens what otherwise would have been a crippling blow to small growers and producers, family food businesses, and farmers' markets. Farms that grow fruits and vegetables, gross less than US$500,000 (inflation adjusted), and sell more than half their products directly to consumers, local restaurants, and/or local retailers are exempt from FDA registration requirements and produce safety standards (HACCP). Tester-Hagan further exempts farms that sell under their own label, sell directly within their own state, or sell within a 275-mile radius. Likewise free from new FDA rules are 1) businesses that process foods and sell more than half their products directly to individual consumers (not businesses) and 2) food businesses that gross less than US$500,000 (inflation adjusted) and sell more than half of their food products directly to consumers, local restaurants, and/or retail establishments.
Eco-Safe Systems ozonated water complies with any foreseeable tightening of food safety requirements; residue-laden chlorine may not. The Company's technology is fully compliant with the FDA and USDA and has received HAACP, NSF, and Organic certifications.
Given the robust response to the Company's ozone intervention systems by the integrated food industy not to mention the keen interest of government and safety enforcement agencies, the Company anticipates dramatic nationwide expansion of their ozonated water intervention systems for applications pertaining to food, drinking water, waste treatment, biologic decontamination, and water reclamation.
History shows that outbreaks of food-borne illness caused by dangerous pathogens can inflict enormous financial damage, direct or collateral, to the food industry. The recent E. coli outbreak in Europe is a catastrophic reminder of the immense costs and penalties of lax or insufficient food safety measures. Goaded by regulations, threats of crushing lawsuits, and plain public fury, growers and food-related firms have no choice but to give top priority to food safety. Food safety, clean water, and biological safety are non-negotiable. This is why a growing legion of food distributors and processors, supermarkets, wholesalers, restaurants, water reclamation specialists, Hazmat officials, and public safety agencies are turning to Eco-Safe Systems for the ultimate cost-effective sanitary solution.
