PURE Company Overview

PURE Bioscience, Inc. is a U.S.-based life sciences company focused on the development and commercialization of antimicrobial products primarily for food safety, agriculture, and industrial applications. The company operates within the food safety, agricultural inputs, and industrial sanitation industries, with a core emphasis on reducing microbial contamination using non-antibiotic, silver-based chemistry. Its primary revenue drivers are products formulated with its proprietary antimicrobial technology, marketed to food processors, growers, and industrial customers seeking pathogen control solutions that align with regulatory and sustainability requirements.

PURE Bioscience emphasizes its technology’s efficacy at low concentrations and its compatibility with food-contact and agricultural environments as a key strategic advantage. Founded in the mid-1990s, the company initially focused on wound care and medical applications before pivoting toward food safety and agriculture, reflecting shifts in regulatory pathways, capital availability, and market demand over time.
