AgraFlora Organics International
Inc. (“
AgraFlora” or the
“
Company”)
(
CSE: AGRA
) (Frankfurt:
PU31
) (OTCPK: AGFAF) is pleased to announce that
the Company has submitted a formal response to Health Canada’s
first Request for More Information (“RMI”) regarding the Standard
Processing License (the “
Manufacturing
License”) application for AgraFlora’s
51,000-Square-foot fully-automated edibles manufacturing facility
in Winnipeg, Manitoba (the “
Edibles Facility”).
The RMI response is a key step towards achieving the Standard
Processing License at the Edibles Facility. On May 28, 2020 (see
press release dated June 3,2020), AgraFlora submitted its site
evidence package to Health Canada for the Manufacturing License.
On August 27, 2020 (See press release dated
August 27, 2020) the Company launched Research and Development
(“R&D”) trials through the Company’s Health
Canada R&D license, to dial in formulations for cannabis
activated pectin and gelatin gummies, hard candy, and sugar-free
variants. The Company is currently in discussions with multiple
Canadian cannabis companies with respect to product development and
formulation as an R&D service. AgraFlora believes that R&D
services contracts are a critical path to long-term production
relationships.
James Fletcher, EIC Co-Founder and Operational
Manager stated, "Obtaining the Manufacturing License at the Edibles
Facility is a major milestone for the Company and today we
completed an important step by submitting our RMI request. I
believe we have submitted a strong application, and, with today’s
RMI clarifications, we are one step closer towards receiving the
Manufacturing License and commencing commercial operations at the
Edibles Facility. Our internal R&D trials have yielded strong
results which have given us recipes for favourable flavour,
texture, and manufacturing efficiencies. We’ve also been able to
identify flavours and formulations that effectively mask or
compliment the distinctive flavour of our cannabis inputs. Our
whole team is excited to take what we’ve learned and apply it to
client formulations under our R&D License, transitioning to
commercial manufacturing when the Manufacturing License is
obtained.”
