VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HYTN Innovations Inc. (CSE: HYTN, FSE: 85W0, OTC PINK: HYTNF) (“HYTN” or “the Company”), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, formulation, and manufacturing of psychoactive and psychotropic compounds, including cannabis and psilocybin, proudly announces that it has received an additional Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) certification for its Kelowna manufacturing facility. This certification now includes distribution as a licenced activity under HYTN’s Drug Establishment Licence (“DEL”) issued by Health Canada.
This new activity builds on HYTN’s existing GMP certification, which was issued under the International Pharmaceutical Co-operation Scheme (“PIC/S”) and by Heath Canada. HYTN is already authorized to fabricate, package, and label non-sterile pharmaceutical products. The addition of distribution allows the company to distribute GMP-certified products directly, though HYTN may still collaborate with regional distributors as needed depending on market demands.
“We have once again demonstrated the compliance of our facility and quality systems,” said Jason Broome, HYTN’s Chief Operations Officer. “This licence amendment further supports our expansion into non-sterile pharmaceutical production and enables us to distribute our products in markets where this is required.”
GMP certification is critical for the sale of non-sterile pharmaceuticals, including cannabis medicines, in markets such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland.
The company also announces that it has granted 200,000 Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) to certain consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.
