THE NEED
Food poisoning is a serious inter-national public health concern.
The World Health Organization reports
that 3.2 million children (under five years of age) die of food poisoning-related illnesses each year.
In the United States alone, millions of cases of food poisoning occur annually,
|
|
and many of these are fatal in the populations most at risk - the elderly and children.
Toxin Alert's initial target market for Toxin Guard™ technology is very large.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has estimated the annual U.S. use of plastic film food wrap at more than
500 billion square feet annually.
