DESCRIPTION

PURE Bioscience develops and sells antimicrobial products based on its patented Silver Dihydrogen Citrate (SDC) technology, a stabilized ionic silver compound. The company's core argument is that SDC outperforms traditional chemical disinfectants — killing a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and fungi quickly while being non-toxic, non-caustic, and odorless, with no PPE required. PURE Bioscience sells two primary finished products: PURE Hard Surface, an EPA-registered disinfectant and food contact surface sanitizer targeting restaurants, food processors, healthcare facilities, and transportation operators; and PURE Control, an FDA-approved direct food contact processing aid for poultry and produce that eliminates pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria without affecting taste, texture, or yield. The company also sells SILVÉRION, an SDC-based raw material used as a preservative or active antimicrobial ingredient in personal care products. PURE Bioscience sells directly to end users and through third-party distributors. The business is at an early commercial stage, operating with 11 full-time employees and no physical office. The customer base is small and concentrated, creating meaningful revenue risk. The food processing industry is the primary growth focus, with the company viewing tightening food safety regulations as a tailwind. Longer term, PURE Bioscience aims to expand internationally and generate licensing revenue from partners commercializing SDC technology in markets the company cannot address directly.
