Now Available at Foodland, Hawaii-Made ASSURE-100 Rapid COVID-19 Home Tests Spread Aloha, Not Covid
Honolulu, HI February 7, 2025 – Oceanit is excited to announce that the Hawai’i-developed ASSURE-100 Rapid COVID-19 Home Test is now available over the counter at select Foodland and Foodland Farms across the islands. The locally created rapid COVID-19 test is the only test developed in Hawai‘i and arrives at Foodland just as seasonal winter infections surge among both travelers and kama‘āina.
“After creating ASSURE-100 in Hawai’i in 2022, we began selling it online to customers around the world, and now it’s great to have local support for a homegrown product,” said Oceanit CEO Dr. Patrick Sullivan. “Making a Hawai‘i product available to local shoppers at Foodland is a great opportunity. We’re proud to have delivered ASSURE-100, the only FDA-authorized test created in Hawai‘i and are very pleased it will be available at Foodland moving forward.”
ASSURE-100 was authorized by the FDA in December 2022, and since then, many thousands of tests have been delivered from Hawai‘i to organizations and healthcare groups worldwide. With the launch of ASSURE-100 at Foodland stores, we are expanding access for local consumers, families, and communities across Hawai‘i.
Select Foodland and Foodland Farms stores will carry two-pack kits at customer service counters to help Spread Aloha, Not COVID. ASSURE-100 delivers rapid, accurate results with market-leading viral sensitivity, outperforming competitors such as Abbott’s BinaxNOW and Innova Rapid Tests. Oceanit is one of just 33 companies worldwide to receive FDA authorization for an OTC rapid test during the COVID-19 pandemic—and the only one from Hawai‘i.
ASSURE-100 can also be purchased on our website or on Amazon.com.
