VANCOUVER, Canada–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Canadian life sciences company, Ondine Biomedical, has concluded the first development phase of a new food-safe photodisinfection technology for Canada\u2019s meat packing industry. The findings which will be presented at a webinar on Wednesday 12 April, 2023 will report on identifying and screening potential food-safe photosensitizers for efficacy against bacterial biofilms common in food processing.<\/p>\n

\nIn December 2022 Ondine was awarded nearly $735,000 to undertake this research, which was funded in part by the Government of Canada under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership\u2019s AgriScience Program, a federal, provincial, territorial initiative. The AgriScience Program aims to accelerate the pace of innovation by providing funding and support for pre-commercial science activities and cutting-edge research that benefits consumers and the agriculture and agri-food sector.<\/p>\n

\nThe food-processing industry has a need for the development of technologies to reduce the incidence of food-borne pathogens including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Eradicating these invasive microbes will help protect the $9.4 billion (2021) Canadian meat export industry, as well enhance the lives and welfare of consumers by reducing the incidence of food-borne illnesses.<\/p>\n

\nOndine is the world leader in the development of photodisinfection technology, and has already proven the safety and effectiveness of the technology at hospitals across Canada where it is used to decolonize the nose prior to surgery to prevent surgical site infections ( SSIs) \u2013 Vancouver General Hospital has reported reducing SSIs in patients undergoing major surgery by over 50%.<\/p>\n
