Tomi Environmental announces FDA broadens permitted use of hydrogen peroxide

TOMI Environmental Solutions (TOMZ) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has broadened the permitted use of hydrogen peroxide as a secondary direct food additive. This change, outlined in the final rule published on September 3, 2025, amends 21 CFR Section173.356. With SteraMist formulated primarily from food-grade hydrogen peroxide and deionized water, TOMI is now well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities in the food industry. The new FDA rule permits the use of food-grade hydrogen peroxide that complies with Food Chemicals Codex, 14th Edition specifications, in food production, provided that any trace residues are completely removed before the food reaches consumers.
