Although specific terms were not disclosed, PURE noted that Rockline Industries must meet performance criteria and milestones to maintain exclusivity and contract rights.

Michael L. Krall, president and CEO of PURE Bioscience, states, “Rockline is an industry leader in new products and high-quality manufacturing, and is the leading contract wet wipe manufacturer in the United States. The variety of new products that Rockline can bring to market with SDC as an ingredient is a major market expansion opportunity for PURE. We are proud to be partnering with such a well-established company, and we are confident that Rockline will successfully increase acceptance and use of SDC as the antimicrobial of choice in commercial and consumer markets.”
