Is Ozone Technology Solution To E Sakazakii Illness?
Is there a penny stock company out there with a silver bullit to elimate food-borne illnesses? We're often amused by reports that reach us from sources like "The World Stock Wire" and we sometimes wish we had access to those "Pink Sheet," which somehow have yet to make it to the internet in this 21st Century.
Nevertheless, sometimes we get something that gives us one of those Hmmmm moments. Information we recieved this morning from Irving, TX-based Produce Safety & Security prompted one of those moments. PDSC on those Pink Sheets "is promoting their patented ozone systems, equipment and machinery and other proprietary sanitizing product lines on a worldwide basis to commercial, government and major industrial users."
We're in no position to judge the claims the company makes about its ozone systems, but we did think it has an understanding of food borne illness. For example, here's what the company said about Enterobacter Sakazakii:
One example of a newer food-borne pathogen is enterobacter sakazakii, which can cause serious illness such as sepsis (blood infection) and meningitis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord).
In 2002, FDA, working with CDC, discovered and subsequently alerted health care professionals to clusters of E. sakazakii infections reported in a variety of locations among hospitalized newborns, particularly premature or other immuno-compromised infants who were fed powdered infant formulas. The emergence of new food-borne pathogens requires updated technologies that can detect the presence of new agents in a variety of foods. Addressing these emerging hazards requires cooperation among industry, academia, and government to share information and establish testing protocols.
Like we said, it is interesting, but cannot say more. You can check it out here and here.
