Neve Yarak, Israel, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Save Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVFD) (FSE:80W) (“Save Foods” or the “Company”), an agri-food tech company that focuses on sustainable operations by significantly reducing the use of pesticides, tackling N2O emissions, and producing clean-label, plant-based food, is pleased to announce that Sun Pacific will apply, for a third consecutive season, Save Foods’ solutions on Cuties^®, a leading US brand of clementine and mandarin, during its cleaning process. During prior seasons, Save Foods’ solutions were applied to approximately 200,000 tons of fruit packed by Sun Pacific.

Sun Pacific, a leading US-based grower, packer, and marketer, has been a cornerstone brand in the industry for decades. Notably, its iconic Cuties^® brand represents the forefront of large-scale California-grown clementine and mandarin production across North America, establishing its status as one of the most trusted brands in the market.

Dan Sztybel, CEO of Save Foods Ltd., the majority-owned operating subsidiary of Save Foods, commented: “We are very proud that Sun Pacific continues to show confidence in Save Foods’ solutions, as evidenced by their third consecutive commercial season. Together with our other Americas-based customer, SiCarFarms, we can proudly say that our solutions have been adopted by leading growers and packers delivering high quality produce. Sicar Farms has been using our solutions since 2020. Our solution was also the catalyst for a ramp up in sales to a large U.S retailer. Sicar Farms previously reported to us that the retailer advised them that the Persian lime they delivered lasted 5 more days on the shelf, thereby reducing waste by 90%. AS a result, the retailer increased his purchases from SicarFarms by 25%.
