SAFE SUPPLY STREAMING CO LTD. AND MDBIO SIGN U.S. MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT FOR TOXISHIELD PRODUCTS AMIDST RECORD FEDERAL OVERDOSE CRISIS FUNDING
Safe Supply Streaming Co. Ltd. has entered into a 12-month manufacturing and supply agreement with MobileDetect Bio Inc. (MDBio) to support the United States production and distribution of 200,000 custom ToxiShield products, developed by Safe Supply's wholly owned subsidiary, Safety Strips Tech Corp.
This milestone comes a week after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) allocated more than $1.5-billion in continuation funding for the State Opioid Response (SOR) and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) grant programs, underscoring national urgency to scale access to health and safety tools1.
"This agreement provides a critical foundation for scaling our public health response in the U.S.," said Geoff Benic, chief executive officer of Safe Supply and co-chair of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) coalition. "By manufacturing domestically with MDBio, we're able to respond quickly and reliably to the needs of communities, universities, non-profits and public agencies already mobilizing under SOR and TOR grants."
ToxiShield is the trusted brand behind Safety Strips, providing discreet, rapid test kits used to detect fentanyl, drink-spiking and other harmful substances to empower individuals and communities to take health and safety into their own hands. The agreement enables bulk production of the units, with each containing five test kits, at MDBio's facility in Sugar Land, Tex. All kits ship with premeasured buffer solution, sampling tools and QR-linked usage instructions to support high-fidelity deployment in the field.
"This initiative reflects the company's broader mission to meet urgent public health needs with scalable, science-based technologies," said Raf Souccar, chairman of the board of Safe Supply and former deputy commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). "As someone who has worked on the front lines of the opioid crisis, I see firsthand the value of tools that empower communities to intervene early and save lives."
Aligning with national priorities and public funding
The announcement coincides with HHS's Sept. 22 commitment of $1.48-billion for State Opioid Response and $63-million for Tribal Opioid Response, with financing to be used for overdose prevention, treatment and recovery supports. Since inception, these programs have delivered over 10 million opioid reversal kits and funded services for over 1.5 million people, with growing emphasis on scalable, field-deployable testing.
The collaboration between Safe Supply and MDBio directly supports these goals through Made-in-America innovation, and is fully aligned with MAHA's mission to deliver practical, evidence-informed solutions to communities nationwide.
