LOS ANGELES, CA (December 21) - Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ESFS) is pleased to announce that its internal share transfer audit is completed.
Michael Elliot, President of Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. announced today the receipt of the final internal shareholder transfer audit, covering the period from the acquisition of the CF Green corporation in the summer of 2006 to the present.
Mr. Elliot was advised that the corporation is now in complete compliance with all state and federal securities regulations when certain notices to the Security Exchange Commission and to the California and Delaware Secretary of State were filed.
Although the audit concerned all stock issues since the acquisition of the CF Green corporation, all necessary SEC filings, referred to as Reg. D notices, were submitted during this month.
Mr. Elliot said that procedures are now in place which will result in the immediate filings of all notices and reports to maintain the current level of compliance.
Mr. Elliot noted that the great majority of the filings had to do with the shares issued last year when the CF Green corporation was acquired. The Reg. D filings concerning shares issued in the year 2007 account for only a small percentage of the transfers noticed this year.
The results of the audit will be submitted to Eco-Safe's CPA firm, Mendoza Berger for inclusion in the next certified audit.

Eco-Safe Systems USA Announces The Silver Bullet against E.coli
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 11) -- Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:ESFS), a leading developer of ozonated water intervention systems, is promoting ozone as the ultimate line of attack against a wide range of contaminants-including E.coli, salmonella, and listeria.
"By killing bacteria on contact, ozone can provide the fast food industry with the necessary protection for eliminating the possibility of another deadly E.coli outbreak," according to Dr. Al Baroudi, President, Food Safety Institute, International (FSI). Dr. Baroudi has held executive quality assurance and food safety positions with Yum Brands!, Vons Companies, Inc., Safeway Inc., Harry and David, and Borden, Inc.
Ozonated water intervention systems address the need to protect the public against a wide range of contaminants that can affect the food supply, from farm to fork. They eliminate the use of harsh chemicals like chlorine, pesticides and bactericides. Ozone in water is also environmentally friendly since it forms regular oxygen within 20-30 minutes of use.
"We are contacting leaders in the fast food industry to make them aware that Ozone delivers many benefits which can increase food quality and safety, at a lower cost to producers and processors," says Michael Elliot, President, Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc.
Eco-Safe's ozonated water intervention systems are compliant with FDA, USDA, and HAACP guidelines-and the company has received certification from the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). Because ozone replaces hazardous chemical usage, foods treated with ozone are compliant with Organic standards, too.
Baroudi added, "At a time when some consumer victims are paying for this unneeded and uncontrollable agony with hospitalization, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), or even death, as well as when the nation's growers, restaurants and food retailers are suffering from millions in lost business, Ozone is a food-safety intervention that should be used for safety, prevention and to rebuild consumer confidence in the food industry."

Eco Safe Systems Announces Industry Adoption of New Product
LOS ANGELES, CA (November 27) -- Eco Safe Systems USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ESFS) announced the introduction of its new product, the Eco Jet Ozone Power Washer.
Michael Elliot, President of Eco Safe Systems USA, Inc., said, "After considerable development costs, the Eco Jet brings a new dynamic to the food industry, allowing faster cleanup and disinfection and at the same time greatly reducing the need for toxic chemicals and results in significant savings of energy by eliminating hot water. Independent laboratory testing has shown the Eco Jet approach results in a superior level of sanitizing as opposed to traditional methods, while saving labor, energy, and chemical costs."
The Southern California based manufacturer of ozone sanitizing equipment believes that once the wholesalers of seafood, produce, meat and poultry, and grocery stores understand the extra safety and cost savings, they will add the Eco Jet Power Washer to their sanitizing systems.
Mr. Elliot noted that, "This product has resulted in increased business and has forced me to seek more technical staff, which always pleases me."

Ozone Water Systems Increase Safety of Fresh Produce
