[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n PURE Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: \n PURE), creator of the patented silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) \n antimicrobial, today announced that is has formed a Scientific Advisory \n Board and that it will be led by James L. Marsden, Ph.D., Emeritus \n Distinguished Professor–Food Safety and Security, Kansas State \n University.\n \n \n The mission of the Board is to leverage PURE’s SDC-based technologies, \n PURE® Hard Surface and PURE Control®, to help ensure a safer food \n supply. The Advisory Board will include scientists with expertise in \n food science, food safety, food service and food processing, and will \n assist PURE as the Company continues to develop applications for, and \n commercialize, its patented EPA- and FDA-approved SDC antimicrobial as a \n non-toxic, leading-edge food safety solution. SDC has proven superior in \n killing pathogens causing food-borne illness, including Salmonella, \n E. coli, Listeria and Norovirus.\n \n \n Hank \n R.
