Last year’s winner
Deb OxyBAC is a safe and effective hand wash that can be used where high levels of physical and bacterial contamination are encountered in food manufacturing, food processing, catering, restaurants and food service.
Jason Rigley, Deb Australia’s national marketing manager for Australia and New Zealand said the product marks a first in its category.
“OxyBAC is a world first innovation in antibacterial hand wash. It’s the only product on the market that has accelerated hydrogen peroxide that is safe for the environment, safer for the user but is effective in killing the bacteria on your hands,” he said.
“I think we won because it is different to what is available on the market, it’s a new product with nothing else like it in the category.”
