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 کاملAssessment of a direct hybridization microarray strategy for comprehensive monitoring of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Detection of GMO material in crop and food samples is the primary step in GMO monitoring and regulation, with the increasing number of GM events in the world market requiring detection solutions with high multiplexing capacity. In this study, we test the suitability of a high-density oligonucleotide microarray platform for direct, quantitative detection of GMOs found in the Turkish feed market....
متن کاملConceptualizing risk assessment methodology for genetically modified organisms.
Risk assessment methodology for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has evolved over the last several years. At a conceptual level, the methodology has been adapted from the existing paradigm for environmental risk assessment, which was developed for chemicals and other types of environmental stressors since at least the 1980s (see Hill and Sendashonga (2003) for discussion). Many of the peop...
