FDA approves GMO cattle for food
https://www.fooddive.com/news/fda-approves-gmo-cattle-for-food/620061/
Dive Brief:
The FDA has determined that meat from cattle bioengineered to have shorter hair — known as a slick coat — poses a low risk to consumers who eat it. This is the first time the FDA has made a low-risk determination in a bioengineered animal for food use, the department said.
The bioengineered cattle has a genetic trait that is naturally occurring and is sometimes passed on to offspring. Cattle with a slick coat tend to do better in warmer climates. In the case of the bioengineered cattle, the genes were altered using CRISPR technology by precision breeding firm Acceligen.
While there are several ingredients and food items from bioengineered plants on the market today, there have been more regulatory hurdles for animals to be approved. Since 2017, animals genetically modified for food have been under the FDA's purview and regulated with the same scrutiny as new drugs.
Dive Insight:
While genome editing using CRISPR has been done for nearly a decade, the technology has largely not come to the animals people in the United States eat. Just two other genetically modified animals have been approved for use as food — AquAdvantage salmon in 2015 and GalSafe pork in late 2020. AquAdvantage salmon, which has been modified with DNA from an ocean pout fish to grow faster, first hit the market last May, and is only currently available through one U.S. distributor. While GalSafe pork is FDA-approved for use in food, the pigs were primarily developed for medical uses.
Considering that the "slick" gene was first pinpointed by USDA scientists in 2008, who found developing shorter hair to be a potential boon to cattle in warm temperatures, it's no surprise that this genetic modification is the first to make it through the full regulatory process. The Associated Press reported that the regulatory process for this genetic modification was shorter than that for AquAdvantage salmon and GalSafe pigs because the genetic makeup is similar to other cattle and the slick coats are found naturally in some breeds.
This low-risk determination from the FDA — a tacit approval from a regulatory standpoint — could be game-changing. Or it could be something that biotech advocates put on a timeline, but it doesn't make a difference in the food system. The impact of the decision depends largely on what meat companies, food distributors, retailers and foodservice outlets decide to do with it.
In a statement, Steven Solomon, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, said that the safety decision on this intentional genomic alteration — abbreviated by the department as IGA — underscores the federal government's commitment to using a science and data-based process focused on the health and safety of both animals and consumers to analyze this type of product.
"We expect that our decision will encourage other developers to bring animal biotechnology products forward for the FDA's risk determination in this rapidly developing field, paving the way for animals containing low-risk IGAs to more efficiently reach the marketplace," Solomon said in the statement.
From the biotech standpoint, it sounds promising. But among consumers, there is a vocal and active community that opposes genetically modified and bioengineered foods of all kinds.
The concerns from this community is why it took six years from the time AquAdvantage salmon was approved for safe consumption to the time it first appeared on the market. In 2016, a coalition of groups representing fishermen, environmental and salmon advocates and food sustainability proponents sued the FDA for approving the salmon for consumption. The advocacy groups argued that the FDA had not spent enough time analyzing what threat AquAdvantage salmon would pose to wild populations if accidentally released. In November 2020, a federal judge ruled that the FDA should have given more consideration to these potential risks and ordered the department to reconsider the environmental assessment, but did not nullify the government's approval.
Outside the court, however, non-GMO advocates had done other work to slow sales of AquAdvantage salmon. Petition drives and protests that came shortly after FDA approval of the fish led many retailers to ban the GMO fish years before it became available. In 2017, The Center for Food Safety released a list of 81 retailers, six seafood companies and six restaurants and chefs that made policies against selling genetically engineered seafood.
It will take a minimum of two years for the bioengineered cattle to be available for food, the FDA said in the statement. That's plenty of time for an opposition campaign to mount or for biotech activists to launch a PR campaign about the benefits of bioengineered food animals. It's also plenty of time for more genome edited food animals to receive FDA approval. The fight over GMOs has mellowed somewhat since 2015, with the federal government now mandating disclosure of the presence of some bioengineered ingredients on labels, but there are still deep feelings among consumers and advocates. What happens next will show how much — or how little — sentiments have changed.
An RIBT shareholder I trust put up the following abd he is not a pumper.>>>>>
I called their investors hotline name was Rob. He spoke on a lot of things was pretty limited on what He could say with ER 1 week out. They can say what ever they want but he sound pretty good on the out look. Thought the price would be over $1 before ext was done. Limited chance of reverse spilt. Talked about moving towards human consumption side and the bigger margins then animal foods.Spoke on other stuff and mention some PR should be coming. Take it for what its worth but that was what was relayed.

Rumors or staements the pas year that could lead to a deal.
1. At a CC, I think last May, the head man Bradley said they athey are looking at the parent company that used to sell RIBT Organic rice. The mill was in Thailand, Urmatt, but the parent company is Narula. Narula is like bigger that Cargil and sort of an approved company by the governent of India, they are pricate and huge, ties to most of Asia.
2. A statement from a SH that talked to the IR about 6 months ago, RIBT has a new product and if it works in food deals could come from it.
3 like 11 months ago, from Rob(IR) to another again SH. In 6 to 9 months you won't be able to recognise this company.

Vitru, I posted that Virtu took a stake in RIBT recently and that they were involved in the GME and AMC Reddit run ups. Well, here they are and spikes show up. I think it is a good thing, but let's let them hold at the highs next time. The last two weeks had a 32%+ gain. Only 6.8% this week. All this and no PR.

2 Sigma got in just ahead of the spikes in 2021. They came and sold, but back again. I hope this is a good thing. Both 2 Sigma and Virtu want to make money.

Here is what happened to RIBT the last 4 days.
1.Thursday morning March 3rd. Twitter poster, buysellshort.net with 173,100 followers, many of them paid for his service and he puts up 2 Tweets.
https://twitter.com/buysellshort/status/1499454547227398149
https://twitter.com/buysellshort/status/1499456694337753091
If you are paid for his services, you probably get a heads up before his posts. Just his site alone gets the stock rolling. A couple more tweets on the third, and 2 on the 4th
2. The last two days a lot of selling and no posts from buysellshort.net. one way or the other.
Well, the close on 3/2 was .36. buysellshort first posted when it was .38 on the third. So, if RIBT closes at the current .405, we will have had a 4 day gain of 12.5%, not bad.
All that with no good news. The positive from all this is that buysellshort.net has given the market more knowledge and awareness of RIBT in 4 days than RIBT management has made people aware of this company in many years of nothing. Hopefully if RIBT has a good CC in 9 days, the stock rises well beyond chicken Fatto's $1.50
Fatto, that was a 20,000 pre market trade at the bid. The ask was .50. Copy television pulled out the big bucks.
Rice Figures Prominently in Craft Beer
https://www.usarice.com/news-and-events/publications/usa-rice-daily/article/usa-rice-daily/2018/04/04/rice-figures-prominently-in-craft-beer#:~:text=Sparhawk%2C%20a%20Certified%20Cicerone%C2%AE,changer%20for%20rice%2Dflavored%20beers.
ARLINGTON, VA -- In late March, the Brewers Association released its 2018 Beer Style Guidelines, with rice specifically noted as a typical or recommended ingredient in seven styles: American-style lager and light lager; American-style amber light lager; American-style pilsener; contemporary American-style pilsener; international-style pilsener; and Australasian, Latin American or tropical-style light lager. Wild rice is also noted as a potential ingredient in the “specialty beer” category.
In the beer world, rice is considered an “adjunct,” or a non-malt source of fermentable sugar, and an effective ingredient to boost the alcohol in a beer while keeping it light on the palate. Adjuncts can also be added for flavor and are any items incorporated beyond the core blend of malt, hops, water, and yeast.
“Rice has traditionally been a source of fermentable sugar. In recent years, it’s been employed as part of a flavor focus,” said Andy Sparhawk, the Brewers Association craft beer program web manager and Style Guidelines committee member. Sparhawk, a Certified Cicerone® (the industry designation for a beer sommelier), cites Michigan-based Kuhnhenn Brewing Company’s DRIPA (Double Rice India Pale Ale) made with U.S. long grain rice as a game changer for rice-flavored beers.
Sparhawk noted that rice has been listed as an ingredient since the Guidelines were created in 1979 to establish an archive for classical styles and identify evolving ones. He added, “Just because rice isn’t mentioned, doesn’t mean it’s not included.”
The Brewers Association represents more than 4,000 small and independent U.S. brewers and supports the community of brewing enthusiasts. The Beer Style Guidelines are developed by the Brewers Association with input from industry experts and beer analyses, and include details on color; clarity; perceived aroma, flavor, and bitterness; fermentation characteristics; and body. They serve as a reference for brewers and beer competitions, including the preeminent World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival.
When it comes to using rice in beer production, however, there is definitely a “king of beers,” namely, Anheuser-Busch, the largest single buyer of rice in the United States.
tai, RIBT has Golden Ridge where they get rice from fromers and pay the increase. If they have hedged rice, no problem. If not the rising prices hurts since they have contracts at fixed prices to fill. In August 2020, in April - early June 2020 they could not fullfill their contracts so they paid cancelation fee to some customers, they would have lost more had they bought the rice.
In Califorinia and Louisiana, they just hook up to mills for their stabilization procees. They just get the bran and the mills must pay the farmers for the rice. If those mills don't hedge, they don't buy the rice from farmers. So still some pain for RIBT. The good thing is the farmers get stuck with rice nobody wants, so supply and demand, the price falls, fast in 2020.
I do hope they all have rice hedged now.

CFO Mitchel got a 1,000,000 warrants priced at "0" in December and we don't know why yet.Bradley just gat a triple sized warrant bonus last week compared to what he has been getting. I don't see that size in his comntract.
I hope in the conference call we find out why the BOD approved this candy. It could be for work on a deal yet to be announced? Let's hop it they are worth the candy.

$RIBT After hours does not mean much, but I got to love the last Friday AH trade. The previous 4 trades went off at .3945 with that as the bid and .4364 the ask. The last trade went off with 100 shares at .4364, the ask. So, unofficially the stock only lost .36 for the day.
The stock officially held on to 65% of it's big Thursday gain and up 25% on the week. All the other spikes in the last 12 months failed. Monday is a key day, must break near even at best.

Plant based meat has a little discussed issure and that is carbs. Me, I got on a keto diet to lower my diabetes medication. In 2 months I went from 15 MG's of glipizide to 5MG's. A fun thing was that I lost 20 pounds as well, and I WAS NOT TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. I was nearing needing insulin and blood sugar was my main concern.
Plant potein burgers have more carbs than hanburger, from the link below>>>
" Carbs: The Impossible burger has 9 grams of carbs, of which 3 are fibre. The Beyond burger, 3 total carbs with 2 of them fibre. Beef, 0 carbs."
That is really not a lot of carbs, but they do add up. My burger problem is more in the bun anyway.
Calories compare to the Carbs in both, more in the plant based
"Calories: Impossible burger, 240. Beyond burger, 250. Beef burger, 192. (Before cooking, the beef burger contained 283 calories, so the exact calorie count depends on how much fat you allowed to melt off.)"
Fat, to me surprisingly more fat in the Impossible and BYND burgers.
"Fat: Impossible burger, 14 grams. Beyond burger, 18 grams. Beef burger, 12 grams after cooking, down from 17 in the raw beef. Again, this may vary with your cooking style."
Sodium more in plant based but seasoning is the issue >>
"Sodium: The fake burgers have more sodium (370 and 390 milligrams versus 55) but that’s because the fake ones have been seasoned, while the numbers for beef do not include seasoning."
I really don't eat much beef anymore. I eat a lot of salads and add chicken chunks or tuna, although I did see recently dementia and tuna.......
If I do eat a burger out, I will stick with the beef until the government bans it and makes me drive an EV through the drive thru. Or I'll switch if the price of plant based becomes much less than beef.
