SC Johnson Professional today launched its AgroBac™ Pure FOAM, a new antibacterial foam soap formulated specifically for use in food handling and processing environments. The perfume-free and dye-free product is NSF E2 rated, Triclosan-free, killing up to 99.999 percent of many types of common germs within 30 seconds.

“Ideal for use in settings that require high standards of hand hygiene, like food service and food manufacturing, AgroBac Pure FOAM offers users an effective, reliable and triclosan-free product to avoid cross-contamination,” said Isabelle Faivre, Vice President of Marketing, Skin Care, SC Johnson Professional. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year roughly one in six Americans (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases[1]. The spread of germs from the hands of food workers to food is a common cause of foodborne illness outbreaks. According to the CDC, it accounts for 89 percent of outbreaks in which food was contaminated by food workers[2].”

With skin-friendly pH value and high-quality foam, AgroBac Pure FOAM provides a silky-smooth skin cleanser and sanitizer in one. The new product does not taint food when used as an antimicrobial hand wash and is available in a range of sealed cartridge sizes. The foam technology is a highly economical choice, providing over 30 percent more washes compared to standard lotion soap. The foaming wash also saves up to 45 percent on water consumption compared to lotion soap.[3]

Convenient, quick and easy to use, AgroBac Pure FOAM dispenses foam instantly onto hands, reducing time required to create lather and rinsing away quickly without leaving a residue. It also contains skin conditioner, which makes skin feel smooth and firm after use and helps prevent dry skin.
