Discussions are actively ongoing with multiple franchisees worldwide to integrate Beyond Oil's technology into their operations. This planned expansion capitalizes on the successful implementation as a model, aiming to enhance food quality, safety, and sustainability across the restaurant industry.

Beyond Oil's Contribution to Public Health

The Problem: Reusing frying oil hundreds of times over several days with the same oil is a common practice worldwide, occurring in restaurant kitchens, hotels, catering services, and fried food factories. There was no such solution to this problem until now, because if the restaurant changed its oil every day, the price of food would rise unreasonably.

Who is affected by the problem? This issue impacts individuals worldwide, regardless of location or background. When consuming fried food, we ingest approximately 20% of the absorbed oil.

Statistical Insight: In the Western world, approximately one in five individuals is affected by cancer, with reused frying oil posing a significant risk factor. Reusing frying oil over multiple days leads to harmful health outcomes, including an increased prevalence of certain types of cancer. Recent academic literature, along with studies by regulatory agencies like the U.S. and European health agencies, confirms a direct link between consuming oil absorbed in fried foods and elevated cancer rates. (Source 1: Impact of Repeatedly Heated Cooking Oils on Cancer Incidence - Critical Review; Source 2: Professor Oren Fruchte | Professor Nissim Garti Research Reports).

During frying, oil degradation is accelerated and harmful compounds such as Acrylamide, PAH, free radicals, Free Fatty Acids ("FFA"), Total Polar Materials ("TPM"), Metals, formation of trans fats diverging from safety standards. These compounds affect the oil's quality, leading to foaming, smoking, and a change in color, smell, and taste. The frying oil fumes contains aromatic carcinogenic components causing contributing to mortality and morbidity of customers and kitchen personnel.

Beyond Oil's Innovative Solution
Beyond Oil is a health food-tech company specializing in the health sector. Over the course of 15 years, it has developed a formula comprised of food additives that create an innovative filter powder, protected by a patent. This formula effectively absorbs degradation components from fried oil, slows down the rate of deterioration reactions, and, through a straightforward filtration process, enables the oil to be reused while preserving its quality. Beyond Oil's solution represents a significant global advancement in safeguarding the health of diners and kitchen workers in factories or restaurants that reuse the same oil over an extended period.

Sustainable practices are becoming increasingly crucial in this inflationary global economy. Beyond Oil's filtration powder that extends the lifespan of fried oil, thereby contributes to environmental impacts:

• Minimizes the environmental footprint associated with oil disposal.
• Reduces emissions of hazardous volatile substances and decreases energy consumption in refinery plants.
• Alleviates the burden on sewage systems and groundwater by reducing the volume of oil intended for treatment.
• Mitigates carbon dioxide emissions to bolster the earth's natural greenhouse effect.
• Reduces overland or maritime transportation of oils helps prevent soil contamination, air pollution from gas emissions, and ecological seas contamination.

How the Beyond Oil Product Works- Simple and effective Protocols

The powder remains on the filter and creates an additional layer which provides the microfiltration benefit.
