GENERAL: BLT: Blis Technologies Gets Key 'Letter of No Objection' From US

Announcement

Blis Technologies Gets Key 'Letter of No Objection' From US Food and Drug
Administration for Ingredient BLIS K12

Blis Technologies Limited announces that one of the company's key products,
the ingredient BLIS K12, has had the issuance of a US Food and Drug
Administration 'Letter of No Objection'.

The Letter of No Objection, more commonly known as GRAS or 'Generally
Recognized As Safe', is another step on the strategic pathway to open markets
through regulatory approval.

It adds a new level of credibility for BLIS K12 and has the potential to put
the conversations with larger consumer food and beverage companies in the US
on a stronger footing.

Many of those companies are, quite rightly, risk averse and therefore having
GRAS status offers an additional level of confidence. GRAS status makes it
clearer where BLIS K12 fits within the category.

Through the GRAS program, companies may submit their determination supported
by research and expert review that a specific ingredient is Generally
Recognized As Safe. The Letter of No Objection means that the FDA has
reviewed the data and has no questions regarding the notice submitted.

FP, the earlier 2011 GRAS is self-declared, based on independent evidence, and is fully legal. This latter is FDA examined, a "higher level", and is probably required by any big firm before making any commitment.

This could start big developments, as they have said that functional food is the big market. But , alas, we will have to wait and see, as usual. Can't be bad, anyway. Good news still rolling in.

So it takes 4 years for the FDA to approve something they have previously approved. Fascinating.

That's not BLT's fault FP. The FDA formally acknowledging their GRAS status is big news for BLT.

By the way that Fungus isn't a probiotic that got away on you is it? Best you check it for GRAS status so that you can sleep at night

From their previous announcement.

"Until July 2011 the Company’s BLIS K12™ probiotic has only been able to be sold as a dietary supplement but now after receiving GRAS status, the company will dramatically expand market opportunities for the company and enable the BLIS K12 ™ probiotic to be marketed and sold to all food manufacturers in the United States."

That looks pretty official to the average bear - as Yogi would have said.
