Exhibit 99.1

EMERGE INTERACTIVE TO BE DELISTED BY NASDAQ

SEBASTIAN, Florida, February 20, 2007 – eMerge Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ: EMRG) (the “Company”) today announced that it received a letter dated February 16, 2007, from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) Listing Qualifications Department informing the Company that, in light of the Company’s filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on February 14, 2007, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on February 27, 2007, pursuant to Marketplace Rules 4300 and IM-4300. The Company does not intend to appeal the delisting determination.

The letter from Nasdaq further indicated that if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq’s Capital Market, the Company’s common stock will not be immediately eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “Pink Sheets.” The Company’s common stock may become eligible to so trade only if a market maker makes application to register in and quote the Company’s common stock in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-11 and such application (a “Form 211”) is cleared. Only a market maker, not the Company, may file a Form 211.

The Company has advised the public, and reiterates, that the likely outcome of the Company’s Chapter 11 case is the cancellation of the Company’s existing common stock for little or no consideration, in which case the Company’s common stock would have little or no value.
