WOBURN, Mass., March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN) (“Yield10” or the “Company”), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that USDA-APHIS’s Biotechnology Regulatory Services (“BRS”) has determined that Yield10’s Camelina sativa ("Camelina”) varieties developed using genetic engineering (modified Camelina) to produce omega-3 fatty acids are not subject to the regulations under 7 CFR part 340, and may be grown and bred in the United States. The global markets for omega-3 fatty acids include aquafeed used for salmon and trout farming, pet feed, baby formula, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. Most omega-3 fatty acids are produced from ocean-caught fish. Production constraints and supply volatility of traditional fish oil sources are creating gaps in supply and driving the growing demand for new sources of omega-3. Utilizing Camelina as a land-based production platform has the potential to provide a new, reliable supply for omega-3 fatty acids. Yield10’s submissions along with the USDA-APHIS BRS responses are posted on the USDA’s website.

Key Points:

Utilizing Camelina as a land-based production platform has the potential to provide a new, reliable supply for omega-3 fatty acids.
An RSR filed in July 2023 covers Camelina engineered to produce eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) where the engineered omega-3 Camelina produces oil containing approximately 16-20% EPA.
In 2020, Yield10 signed a collaboration agreement with Rothamsted to support Rothamsted’s Flagship Program to develop omega-3 oils in Camelina.
Yield10 is also engineering second generation omega-3 Camelina lines with herbicide tolerance traits to enable weed control in large-scale commercial planting of the crop.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arctic Blue's fish oil supplements are sourced from fish oil harvested from some of the cleanest water in the world. Its cod are caught in the Barents Sea and their oil is sustainably sourced from fillet trimmings, often processed right on the boat moments after catching the fish themselves. This leads to a unique fish oil with low oxidation values and, consequentially, a clean, soft taste and no fishy burps after consumption.

Key Points:
