Safety assessment of genetically modified plants with deliberately altered composition
Summary
The development and marketing of ‘novel’ genetically modified (GM) crops in which composition has been deliberately altered poses a challenge to the European Union (EU)’s risk assessment processes, which are based on the concept of substantial equivalence with a non-GM comparator. This article gives some examples of these novel GM crops and summarizes the conclusions of a report that was commissioned by the European Food Safety Authority on how the EU’s risk assessment processes could be adapted to enable their safety to be assessed.
Keywords: genetically modified crops, novel traits, crop and food composition, plant biotechnology, risk
assessment, food safety.
