The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Letter of No Objection for Merit Functional Foods’ pea protein ingredients—Peazazz and Peazac. Merit is a joint venture between former executives of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods and Burcon NutraScience.
Merit’s product portfolio currently consists of three protein offerings: pea, non-GMO canola, and MeritPro. Its canola protein received GRAS notification in August 2010, and now GRAS notification was extended to Merit’s pea protein ingredients, Peazazz and Peazac.
“Now that Peazazz and Peazac pea proteins are GRAS notified, Merit’s pea and canola novel plant proteins are FDA GRAS,” said Johann Tergesen, Burcon’s president and CEO. “It is exciting to have achieved this significant commercial milestone, which is important for the acceptance and use of these proteins by global food and beverage companies.”
