1320racing - I was just thinking about the timing of the EU Food Safety Registration process ... hearing about it soon would be a good thing...

EU Food Safety Registration Update

Recently, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) completed and submitted to the European Commission its initial assessment of BioExx rapeseed protein (Isolexx®) as a novel food ingredient for use in EU in the same general food types that currently contain soya protein and at equivalent levels. To that end, the FSAI identified no food safety concerns, and therefore Isolexx is considered to meet the criteria for novel food set out in EU regulations. This assessment and application was sent to all EU Member States at the outset of October for a two month review and the opportunity to request clarification if reasoned objection exists. If at the end of the two months there are no questions/objections, Isolexx will then be authorized for sale and use throughout Europe. BioExx intends to follow that registration with a similar registration for its Vitalexx® hydrolized protein in Europe. The EU novel food registration would be in addition to the current and existing FDA GRAS approved status for the sale of BioExx proteins in the United States.
