About Safe Foods Corporation

Safe Foods Corporation specializes in the development and commercialization of food safety technologies for producers, processors and consumers. The company’s primary antimicrobial food safety technology is Cecure®, a patented product that kills foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria on meat, poultry, eggs, fish, fruits and vegetables, as well as on food preparation surfaces.

In 1994, researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) were granted the first of multiple patents on their discovery that a compound commonly used in mouth rinses and throat lozenges was also highly effective against foodborne pathogens. In June 1999, Safe Foods acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to the patents from UAMS and has since added multiple patent applications for food safety and related technologies.

The company also recently introduced FreshLight™, an advanced ultraviolet light disinfection technology used for killing pathogens in liquids used in food processing. FreshLight™ is already being acquired and used by the food processing industry.
