[{"type":"text","content":"TOMI Capitalizes on Global Food Safety Demand\nFREDERICK, Md., March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global leader in disinfection and decontamination solutions, is accelerating its expansion into the food safety sector by delivering unprecedented operational savings of up to 95%. As global supply chains face mounting pressure to eliminate pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, the industry is rapidly transitioning from legacy chemical applications toward the advanced, science-driven efficacy of SteraMist ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP) technology. The financial stakes for food safety have never been higher, with industry data indicating that the average direct cost of a single food recall now reaches nearly $10 million when accounting for notification, product retrieval, and disposal. To combat these risks, leading manufacturers are seeking automated, repeatable solutions that go beyond traditional cleaning. A prominent Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) manufacturer specializing in egg white-based products recently showcased the transformative power of this technology by integrating SteraMist iHP into its facility-wide Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP). The portability of the SteraPak system allowed sanitation teams to treat the deep, intricate internals of complex manufacturing machinery that are often unreachable by conventional methods. The implementation of SteraMist exceeded all performance benchmarks, resulting in an environment where spoilage organisms were detected so rarely that the facility was able to reduce its environmental sampling frequency from a routine schedule to only once per quarter. This shift led to a dramatic reduction in external lab testing and material costs, which plummeted from approximately $100,000 annually to just $5,000—representing a 95% overall decrease in sanitation validation expenses. \"Our expansion into the food safety sector represents a pivotal milestone in TOMI’s mission to set a new global standard for disinfection,\" stated Dr. Halden Shane, Chief Executive Officer of TOMI. \"The 95% reduction in validation costs achieved by our CPG partner is a powerful testament to the economic disruption SteraMist brings to the industry. We are not just improving safety; we are fundamentally changing the cost-of-do...
