Aquentium Technology Designed to Prevent E.coli 0157 Outbreaks

Aquentium, Inc. (OTCBB: AQNM) President Mark Taggatz announced today that the company is uniquely positioned with technology that allows beef, pork, poultry, and produce processing plants throughout the world the ability to reduce or eliminate E.coli 0157.

On September 29, USDA issued a notice about a recall of 21.7 millions pounds of frozen ground beef patties. Several state health departments, CDC, and the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections.

Health officials in several states who were investigating reports of E.coli O157 illnesses found that many ill persons had consumed the same brand of frozen ground beef patties.

Traditionally, food processing plants have used chemicals to sanitize their plant operations or they use chemicals on food in hopes of removing bacteria and viruses.

"Our ozone equipment and systems provide an all natural solution for plant sanitation and processing," stated Taggatz. "In light of continued outbreaks of food-borne illness and more recent food security concerns in the United States and internationally, as well as questions about the relative safety of chlorine, ozone is certainly a desirable solution for enhancing not only the safety but also the quality of the world food supply."

Compared to chlorine, ozone offers several advantages for food and beverage processors or anyone who wants to sanitize materials or surfaces. Chlorine has traditionally been the sanitizer of choice in the food processing industry, but experts share a growing concern about the dangerous byproducts such as trihalomethanes or dioxins produced when chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water. These substances are known carcinogens and are regulated in drinking water by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

To better quantify the impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources. It is estimated that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Based on the most recent FoodNet data, about 52,000 cases of E.coli 0157 illnesses were expected in 2006.
