Freon memory the issue they faced was the FDA not really having a path/category for them to be licensed under. It was a live bacteria “vaccine” with a mechanism of action that basically amounts to “out compete the bad bacteria and stick around forever in the human mouth because the other bacteria would have anyway” … which was a brilliant idea!
Between being early on the applied genetic manipulation tech wave, having a product that reproduces itself and sticks around forever (cue the FDAs concern meter rising) and at least in the eyes of the FDA not really fitting into any existing licensable food/drug categories they have established procedures for… the company stalled … and pivoted to selling some kind of water product I think.
