Aurora Products Announces Partnership With Neo-Pure For A Validated, Organic, Non-Thermal Pasteurization Solution
Orange, CT (PRWEB) October 11, 2017 -- In today’s market, pasteurization of nuts is a necessity in assuring a pathogen free product for the consumer. Recognizing this need, Aurora Products announces its partnership with Agri-Neo, a Food safety technology company that has developed a new non-thermal pasteurization system using an organic liquid solution derived by plants. This system is called Neo-Pure. Upon treatment, food remains “truly raw” with no destructive nutritional impact. Aurora Products will utilize the Neo-Pure system on its full range of nut and seed products, including cashews, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, and flax seeds. In addition, Aurora plans to offer Neo-Pure as a service to the industry to mitigate food safety risk and meet Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) requirements.
“Aurora was founded on a commitment to provide the highest quality, freshest, all natural and organic products and in Agri-Neo we have found a perfect partner,” said Stephanie Blackwell, Founder and President of Aurora Products. Neo-Pure helps to minimize the risk of pathogens and unwanted microbes in seeds and nuts. Derived from plants, the solution denatures bacterial and fungal cell membranes and DNA on the surface and inside crevices of food, then biodegrades completely into water. Neo-Pure is certified organic to US NOP and Canadian COR standards. With U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approvals, Neo-Pure provides the industry with a validated 5-log reduction for a number of seeds, grains, and nuts, which complies with the preventative controls requirements under FSMA.
“We are excited to be working with the team at Aurora, established leader in the premium all-natural segment of the market,” said Agri-Neo President and COO Rob Wong. “As consumers continue to move toward heathier, organic, raw and natural foods, Neo-Pure is uniquely positioned to meet the food safety requirements of these ready-to-eat products. The organic, non-thermal attributes of the Neo-Pure system, and its ability to address the risk of pathogens without impacting taste or nutritional value of the product provides a clear differentiator for our food processor, ingredient supplier, co-packer and distribution customers.”
