Bringing industrial FSQA into the future
Zeroic is a food safety and quality assurance technology company focused on one idea: keep healthy food healthy as it moves from farm to plant to consumer. Ditch the chemicals without compromising on quality or food safety.
We build and deploy ozone nanobubble systems and digital monitoring tools for industrial food production. Our job is to support the people who run the plants and protect the brands.
We support:
FSQA leaders who need validated science
Operations teams who need reliability
Finance teams who need predictable costs
Origin Story
From one outbreak to a new approach
Our story starts with a phone call no one wants to receive.
The wake-up call
A friend of one of our founders learned that a multi-state Salmonella outbreak had been traced back to his farm. Hundreds got sick. People died.
The hypothesis
He urged our founders to pursue an idea they'd been exploring: that ozone nanobubbles could provide more effective microbial control without relying on harsh chemistries and inefficient processes.
The company
In 2017, that determination became En Solución, dedicated to saving lives through new approaches to food safety. Zeroic is the next chapter: the commercial arm putting this technology into the hands of FSQA and plant leaders at scale.
Built on government-funded science
The technology behind Zeroic wasn't born in a marketing brainstorm. It was built through years of R&D and rigorous validation.
$5.8M in competitive SBIR funding
Zeroic's ozone nanobubble platform has been developed and de-risked with support from multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from USDA and FDA.
From concept to commercial
Through this funding, the team advanced the system through every stage:
Concept development
Minimum viable product
First industry pilots
Commercial production units
Zeroic exists to take this validated technology and commercialize it for industrial FSQA applications across produce, protein, and beyond.

Our commitment
Zeroic exists because food safety failures are not abstract. They have human consequences.
By combining SBIR-backed science, industrial-grade engineering, and deep respect for plant realities, we're committed to helping the food industry:
Reduce risk and protect public health
Run cleaner, more efficient operations
Treat FSQA as a driver of resilience and growth, not just a cost
