Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. Urges Use of Its Disinfectant PERFORMACIDE® to Protect Against E. coli in Restaurants
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. (NASDAQ: OBCI) today said that the recent announcement by a large fast food chain that they are temporarily closing multiple locations in two states due to consumers being sickened by E. coli, means that restaurants should use PERFORMACIDE® Hard Surface Disinfectant as a sanitizer for hard, non-porous, food-contact surfaces.
PERFORMACIDE® is a patented, point-of-use, Chlorine Dioxide generator pouch system for disinfecting, sanitizing and deodorizing without the need to wipe or rinse, and it leaves no harmful residue.
PERFORMACIDE® is an EPA registered sanitizer for use on previously cleaned food preparation surfaces at an exposure time of one minute, and is proven effective against both E. coli, and E. coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium.
When used according to directed dilution rates, PERFORMACIDE® does not require rinsing after use, and it does not leave any harmful residues on the treated surface. In addition to treating food contact surfaces, PERFORMACIDE® may be used on previously cleaned fountain drink and beverage dispensers; glassware, plates, eating utensils, and food and beverage processing equipment. PERFORMACIDE® can be sprayed or wiped onto surfaces and allowed to air dry, so there is no risk of spreading microorganisms to other surfaces.
