TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Agri-Neo is pleased to announce that the Neo-Pure continuous food safety system, and organic pasteurization process at their Toronto Headquarters, have been validated by an ABC-approved Process Authority with agreement by ABC TERP that the Neo-Pure Food Safety System equipment and conditions used in the study demonstrate an ability to meet ABC's criteria of a minimum 4-log destruction of Salmonella bacteria on whole brownskin almonds. Agri-Neo's food safety science studies and third-party test results showed Neo-Pure meets ABC's criteria of a minimum 4-log reduction of pathogens on California almonds.

Key Points: 
  • "We are excited to provide a new pasteurization option to the California almond industry," said Rob Wong, President of Agri-Neo.
  • "Neo-Pure is a proven pasteurization technology for California almonds," said Dr. Fadi Dagher, Biochemistry Director of Agri-Neo.
