Safe Foods will act as the exclusive distributor of IWT’s patented UV disinfection processes for meat and poultry marinades. “IWT’s UV sterilization technologies are exactly the kind of advanced technology we want to offer to the food industry,” said Curtis Coleman, Safe Foods’ President and CEO. “It clearly complements Cecure®, Safe Foods’ patented antimicrobial for use on poultry, meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables. And, it reflects Safe Foods’ commitment to offer the food industry a cadre of synergistic, effective, and feasible food safety technologies.”
Safe Foods selected IWT’s sterilization technology because of IWT’s proprietary “Activated Fluoropolymer” (AFP™) technology. This technology provides a new level of safety in the marinade injection process for the food processing industry. The system utilizes fluid conveying tubes made from a unique UV light – transmitting, scaling – resistant material. UV light is generated by IWT’s XUV High Efficiency UV Emitters. These tubes are separated from any potential contact with glass, chemicals, or heavy metals as may be encountered with conventional UV disinfection systems.
Coleman added, “This UV technology is energy efficient, it doesn’t adversely affect the desirable properties of the marinade, and it destroys unwanted bacteria that might be in the marinade, or brine. It’s safe, effective, and cost efficient. It’s a winner all the way around for meat and poultry processors who use marinades, or brines, in their processes,” he said.
Manoj Jhawar, President of IWT, said, “Our mission is to provide the best service and support, while providing the most economical and environmentally safe solutions for our customers’ fluid purification needs. We are excited about working with Safe Foods because of the commitment to food safety that both companies share. This introduction is just the beginning of a continuing partnership to develop and offer new safety technologies for the food industry.”
