QUÉBEC — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the USDA have granted GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status to Inneo, a food processing aid made to eliminate Listeria monocytogenes.
This technology, developed by Canadian biotechnology company Innodal, uses antimicrobial peptides to eliminate the harmful pathogen. With this approval, Innodal is set to launch industrial-scale projects with U.S. processing companies, marking its entry into the U.S. market, the company announced.
Inneo is Innodal's flagship product and has been successfully commercialized in Canada for four years and will now be available to the U.S. market. . .
