Risk assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
EFSA’s remit in the risk assessment of GMOs is very broad encompassing genetically modified plants, microorganisms and animals and assessing their safety for humans, animals and the environment. The legal frame for GMOs is set by Directive 2001/18/EC on their release into the environment, and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed. The main focus of EFSA’s GMO Panel and GMO Unit lies ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Impact of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
The intensification of agriculture has provided cheaper more plentiful food, but has also caused declines in farmland wildlife. The introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops may exacerbate this, or offer new ways of mitigating anthropogenic impacts. The potential consequences of the introduction of GM crops have been studied for over a decade, since commercialization. Although the specifi...
متن کاملPracticality of detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food
The increase in new GMOs (genetically modified organisms) has led to specific legislation world-wide to regulate the presence and/or the amount of GMOs in food, food ingredients, feeds and agriculture commodities. Regulatory demands of labelling and traceability of GMOs in the food chain need suitable sampling protocols and analytical methods. At present, two main techniques, the DNA-based poly...
متن کاملCoherence between legal requirements and approaches for detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their derived products.
Analytical methods for the qualitative and quantitative detection of genetically modified (GM) products may serve multiple purposes. Legal requirements differ among jurisdictions, ranging from no requirements to mandatory use of event-specific quantitation and implementation of production chain traceability. Although efforts have been taken to harmonize the analytical methodology at national, r...
متن کاملFoods Derived from Genetically Modified Organisms and Detection Methods
This report reviews currently approved genetically modified food crops, products from modified microorganisms for food use, and molecular methods currently applicable or under development for detecting foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Up-to-date reviews on approvals of genetically engineered organisms or food products (in the the European Community, and Switzerland), in...
