G enetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become nearly ubiquitous in U.S.-produced corn, soybeans, and canola, and more than twothirds of the processed foods Americans consume contain such ingredients. Government agencies and international bodies have repeatedly approved the foods for human consumption while arguing that such bioengineered crops help preserve the environment and could save m...

In the coming years, the frequency of unauthorised genetically modified organisms (GMOs) being present in the European food and feed chain will increase significantly. Therefore, we have developed a strategy to identify unauthorised GMOs containing a pCAMBIA family vector, frequently present in transgenic plants. This integrated approach is performed in two successive steps on Bt rice grains. F...

The Ghana Public Health Association organized a scientific seminar to examine the introduction of genetically modified organisms into public use and the health consequences. The seminar was driven by current public debate on the subject. The seminar identified some of the advantages of GMOs and also the health concerns. It is clear that there is the need to enhance local capacity to research th...

Various legislations worldwide provide a framework for the authorization of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products derived therefrom [1]. Despite these regulations, novel GMOs occasionally enter the market without authorization [2–22] (Table 1) and are referred to as unauthorized GMOs (UGMs). The presence of UGMs in food and feed raises safety and labeling concerns, and challenges i...

When applying risk assessment and the broader process of risk analysis to decisions regarding the dissemination of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the process has a tendency to become remarkably complex. Further, as greater numbers of countries consider authorising the large-scale dissemination of GMOs, and as GMOs with more complex traits reach late stages of development, there has been...

This paper analyzes the view of stakeholders on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the implications of these views on communication strategies for agricultural biotechnology in Brazil. It identifies and describes common groups of attitudes toward GMOs using multivariate statistical analyses. The study then looks for patterns of association between the common attitude groups and the follo...

The battle is still among people who oppose or supports GMO’s product. Nevertheless feeding of mounting population is main concern. That’s why Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on GMOs products release were kept in front of Supreme Court in 2014 and surprisingly, the report of scientific members were in support of GMOs. Therefore, its case study is very important. Bt-cotton was released in 2002 ...

background and objective: over the recent years, genetically modified food in varieties of corn, soybeans, canola and cotton have been introduced to the global market. this study reviews the health and nutritional value of genetically modified foods in the past two decades. results and conclusions: contrary to the present biotechnological claims, transgenic products did not prove to be so flawl...
