(OTCQB: PURE), creator of the EPA and FDA approved, patented silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, today announced that the FDA has completed its review of the safety and efficacy of the proposed use of silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) as a fresh produce processing aid and declared PURE Bioscience's food contact notification (FCN) to be effective as of January 7, 2016.

PURE Control can go a long way toward alleviating many of the foodborne illness outbreaks like those recently experienced by leading retailers and restaurant chains, as reported in the press, that were linked to produce processors. Both human health and brand reputation are at risk. Retailers, r...
