SurePure, Inc., a player in liquid photopurification, on Tuesday
announced that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)
had approved the use of SurePure's proprietary photopurification
technology as an alternative process to thermal pasteurisation for milk
and other dairy products. This approval paves the way for the
commercialisation of SurePure's technology throughout India's fluid milk
market.
According to a press release issued by the company, the Indian fluid milk market is the world's largest dairy market, estimated to have more than 70 million dairy farmers with production volumes of approximately 122.7 million tonne per annum and a growth rate of 4%. The company, as announced earlier this year, has entered into a multi-unit, multi-year royalty and distribution agreement with Moksha Yug Access (MYA), an Indian rural supply chain solutions company centred in Karnataka.
"We believe that this royalty agreement with SurePure can bring a cutting-edge milk processing alternative to India. This enables us to access a robust technology, which retains the integrity of milk while delivering milk in its most nutritious form to the consumers," stated Harsha Moily, CEO, Moksha Yug Access. "There are an estimated 70 million small dairy farmers in India, many of whom cannot participate fully in the formal economy. Our company and our Milk Route milk brand open the door to a new era in Indian milk processing with the SurePure technology. We now await product approval from FSSAI."
Steve Miller, VP, sales & marketing, SurePure, stated, "We are pleased by the action taken by the Indian authorities who are pioneering the way in dairy processing, showing the rest of the world's dairy authorities that new, safe, energy-efficient technological solutions to old dairy problems do exist and should be embraced. We believe that the SurePure technology is ideal for the Indian dairy operating environment, enabling small- and large-scale producers alike to save money and improve the quality of the final product. This solution is ideal for the challenges of third-world processing and as the world's leading dairy market, we expect the Indian model to be adopted in other markets."
