Calyxt gene edited soybean oil launch

On February 26, Calyxt announced the successful commercial launch of its Calyno™ High Oleic Soybean Oil, which is the Company’s first product to be sold on the U.S. market. Calyno oil contains approximately 80 percent oleic acid and up to 20 percent less saturated fatty acids compared to commodity soybean oil as well as zero grams of trans fat per serving. Calyno oil is produced in the U.S., thanks to Calyxt’s partnership with more than 100 farmers in the Upper Midwest region growing over 34,000 acres of Calyxt High Oleic Soybean.
