"PGX scale up is a prime example of where this company is position to fail. 7 months plus behind schedule and no word. Then we need government approval that does not happen over night."

The Edmonton facility was installed and commissioned by the end of Q1 as expected. Then they went to the 'fine tuning' phase and have had multiple production runs which were "almost completed" as of the April 29, 2024 news release. The product could be available by year end with Health Canada approval. The Edmonton facility already has Health Canada approval for natural products so it could be a streamlined process. Also, as noted in the Feb. news release, the oat beta glucan chewy product also received Health Canada approval and is expected to be launched in the second half of this year. Health Canada is very familiar with the company and major global brands also rely on the company's facilities.

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ceapro Inc. (TSX-V: CZO) (“Ceapro” or the “Company”), a growth-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of active ingredients for healthcare and cosmetic industries, today announced that both of its two Alberta-based bioprocessing plants, located in Leduc and Edmonton, have received a Site License from the Health Canada Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate. This license enables the Company to fabricate, package, label, release and distribute final products.

“We are very pleased with the issuance of this license recognizing that our state-of-the-art bioprocessing sites are in compliance with GMP requirements of the Natural Health Products Regulations.

This license will enable us to not only produce and sell active ingredients as raw material, but will also allow Ceapro to manufacture and release its own finished products, such as beta glucan tablets and other PGX-processed new chemical entities,” commented Gilles Gagnon, M.Sc., MBA, President and CEO of Ceapro.
