by Brianna Crandall — October 31, 2014—PURE Bioscience, Inc., creator of the patented silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, announced recently that PURE Hard Surface disinfectant has been made available for use in the almost 27,000 SUBWAY franchised locations in the United States.
PURE Hard Surface disinfectant, which is powered by the patented, nontoxic, environmentally friendly SDC antimicrobial molecule, fits into SUBWAY’s commitment to greener living and its food safety protocol, says PURE. A leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, all SUBWAY franchisees are required to follow policies in support of SUBWAY’s overall commitment to make its restaurants and operations as environmentally and socially responsible as possible. The availability of the powerful PURE Hard Surface disinfectant is intended to strengthen the quick-service restaurant chain’s sanitization program.
“Food safety and food quality are our top priorities, and our goal is to serve food that consistently meets the highest quality and safety standards,” said Eric Wolfe, manager of global product quality for the SUBWAY brand. “We think PURE Hard Surface disinfectant is a powerful, yet safe and environmentally friendly way to help franchisees meet those standards.”
California-based PURE Bioscience Inc. is focused on developing and commercializing its proprietary antimicrobial products primarily in the food safety arena — providing solutions to the health and environmental challenges of pathogen and hygienic control. The company’s technology platform is based on patented stabilized ionic silver, and its initial products contain silver dihydrogen citrate, or SDC. SDC is described as a broad-spectrum, nontoxic antimicrobial agent that offers 24-hour residual protection and formulates well with other compounds. SDC is distinguished from existing products in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity, and the inability of bacteria to form a resistance to it, says the company.
