Produce Safety and Security International, Inc. Announces Global Inspection Service to Provide Monitoring and Evaluation of Produce and Food Products


TORONTO, April 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Produce Safety and Security International Inc, the 'Company,' or (Pink Sheets:PDSS) is pleased to announce that the Global Inspection Service founded by C. W. 'Bill' Karney in 1997 is to become a division of PDSS. This division is to provide companies, organizations and individuals involved in the sale, purchase, transportation or distribution in the food industries with time sensitive information on the availability, grade and location of fresh fruit and vegetables in the world market. Due to homeland security concerns, the original scope of the division has been expanded from the produce industry to cover all industries that require the monitoring of inventory.

PDSS believes that the initial potential client / customer base of 300,000 may rapidly grow revenues, since PDSS has existing global contacts with government, businesses and trade organizations. Currently, there is limited competition in this area since it is a new concept to distribute information in the produce industry utilizing new technology and knowledge of the marketplace. There are current users of tracking & monitoring services, (i.e. financial institutions and insurance companies) however, they usually have costly in-house staff. PDSS may be able to substantially reduce these costs by offering its Global Inspection Services. PDSS believes that it will be on the cutting edge of technology and will also have the advantage of being one of the first to market these services.

The Global Inspection Service is a primary component of PDSS's food safety process patent. It is to be a part of the entire PDSS program for food safety certification at distribution centers and may be used by our client/customers, governmental agencies and the retail-food service industry for a complete audit trail.

PDSS's mission with this division is to provide time sensitive information on fresh fruits and vegetables to growers, buyers and sellers in a cost effective manner, giving a uniformity of grading for all markets. The information gathered by PDSS will be processed and presented to customers in an easy to read and access format. This will allow a more orderly movement of fresh fruit and vegetables to the marketplace in a quicker, more cost effective manner. Trained personnel will gather the information on produce ready to market, evaluate that information and place it in the system for distribution. Additionally, specific requirements of customers for actual viewing of product can be met with new technology currently available.

C. W. 'Bill' Karney, President & CEO of PDSS stated, "The monitoring of all inspectors and supervisors will be done from PDSS's office in Prescott, Arizona. This includes gathering all data, processing and disseminating it to customers."
