DEL Ozone Launches New Food Safety Website

Online, February 5, 2012 (Newswire.com) - DEL Ozone announces the launch of a new website at www.delozonefoodsafety.com describing DEL's Food Safety Solutions using advanced ozone technology for precision control of both aqueous and gaseous ozone sanitation. DEL solutions are adaptable to all food-processing operations, and offer FDA/USDA approved sanitation for direct food contact, all food processing surfaces, and Clean-In-Place applications. Ozone sanitation supplements or replaces traditional sanitation methods with a sustainable alternative that produces no unwanted byproducts on food or the environment.

The website shows how DEL Ozone has applied its over 35 years of quality engineering experience and more than 14 years of food industry experience to food safety applications. As a worldwide leader in ozone technology, DEL develops Food Safety Solutions that achieve superior food quality performance while at the same time maximizing producers' ability to control, manage and monitor the sanitation process. DEL Ozone food safety sales and engineering teams evaluate each producer's specific commodity and processing operation to provide a cost-effective sanitation solution that integrates easily with existing systems.

DEL pioneered the development of ozone food safety applications, beginning with direct contact aqueous ozone washing of fresh fruit in the mid-1980s. The company worked with regulatory and standards bodies to validate ozone food safety, with the designation of ozone as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in 1997, and culminating in the FDA approval of ozone as a direct antimicrobial food additive in 2001, codified in 21 CFR § 173. At that point, DEL Ozone launched a food safety ozone product line and became the industry leader in food safety ozone technology.

DEL Ozone has the complete range of in-house capabilities to research, design, build, test, manufacture, install, commission and service ozone sanitation solutions for all food safety applications. DEL offers skid-mounted and mobile turnkey systems designed for typical applications, plus component and custom designed systems for more complex operations. All DEL solutions are supported by a technical team that offers worldwide field service as well as regulatory compliance reviews and consultation.

DEL is an EPA recognized establishment and provides EPA, FDA, USDA and USDA-Organic compliant systems that are also OSHA compliant for worker safety and NSF listed. DEL Ozone builds on its solid performance history with ongoing research and development into new technologies and delivery systems. DEL is the co-recipient of a MAFMA (USDA) grant as an industry collaborator for the use of ozone in CIP technology for Food Safety at the Ohio State University. DEL collaborated with NSF Toxicology Group to test the efficacy of aqueous ozone against EPA sanctioned AOAC methodologies in conjunction with NIOSH standards. DEL works as an ozone consultant to the Food and Beverage industry for Food Safety under HACCP.
