FIRST LARGE-SCALE CLARISOYA PRODUCTION FACILITY SCHEDULED TO BE COMMISSIONED IN FOURTH QUARTER

Burcon NutraScience Corp.'s licence and production partner for CLARISOY soy protein, Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), has confirmed plans to achieve full commercial production of CLARISOY this year. ADM plans to begin commissioning the first large-scale CLARISOY production facility at its North American headquarters in Decatur, Ill., during the fourth quarter of 2016.

"This is a truly significant milestone in the commercialization of CLARISOY," said Johann Tergesen, Burcon's president and chief operating officer. "ADM is committing considerable resources to commercializing CLARISOY and is the ideal partner for such innovative proteins. ADM's line of CLARISOY soy proteins is truly on trend to meet the demand by consumers for great-tasting, nutritionally enhanced products targeted to the ever-growing number of health- and wellness-minded consumers."
