FDA and USDA
pHresh products are based on Acidic Calcium Sulfate (ACS), a food grade acidifer, made from GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)
ingredients. As such, FDA has communiques of 'no objection' to the use of pHresh 10.0 in food applications. The USDA and its FSIS
(Food Safety and Inspection Service) have also issued 'no objection' notices to use ACS in both products and on product contact
surfaces. In summary pHresh products are safe for use both in food and animal feed products as well as in a variety of processing
applications.
Labeling. The FDA and the USDA have indicated that when used in food products, ACS must appear on product labels as 'acidic
calcium sulfate'.

Petfood
pHresh has been proven a very effective secondary barrier to prevent re-contamination by microbial contaminations such as
Salmonella. Typical petfood manufacturing includes a cooking step, which effectively kills and eliminates microbial contamination.
However, there is significant risk of recontamination following this step, as well as the potential for recontamination once the product
reaches the consumers home. pHresh 10.0 has been shown to completely eliminate a recontamination of a product by Salmonella in
a recent studies at Kansas State University's Food Safety and Defense Laboratory.

Palatability of diets containing pHresh 10.0 is an important part of understanding the effects of pHresh 10.0 on a petfood product.
Diet's containing pHresh 10.0 have show a parity to an identical diet without pHresh 100. pHresh Technologies has tested the
palatability of both feline and canine diets containing pHresh 10.0.
