AmeriPure Processing Company, an oyster-processing company, was founded in 1995 in response to government and consumer advocacy groups issuing severe public warning about the consumption of Gulf Coast oysters. The concern focused on two naturally-occurring bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which can be found in clean estuarine waters throughout the world. AmeriPure s all-natural, patented in-shell process removes all potentially harmful bacteria. The oysters are never opened during the treatment, so all of the natural juices remain. AmeriPure oysters are harvested, processed and shipped daily. They are available all year, fresh or frozen, in-shell, half-shell or shucked. AmeriPure Processing Company is located in Franklin, La.
