In 2014, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) started the PROMETHEUS (PROmoting METHods for Evidence Use in Scientific assessments) project to improve further and increase the consistency of the methods it uses in its scientific assessments. The proj ...
The GMO Panel was previously not in the position to complete the food/feed safety assessment of maize 5307 due to an inadequate 28-day toxicity study necessary for an appropriate assessment of eCry3.1Ab protein. Following a mandate from the European Commi ...
Maize MON 87403 was developed to increase ear biomass at early reproductive phase through the expression of a modified AtHB17 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, encoding a plant transcription factor of the HD‐Zip II family. The molecular characterisation dat ...
This document provides guidance on the strategy and methodologies followed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to consult on its scientific outputs with the objective of increasing transparency, visibility and openness of the scientific risk asse ...
Following the submission of application EFSA-GMO-RX-007 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Monsanto, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (GMO Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment on th ...
The EFSA Scientific Network for Risk Assessment of GMOs (the GMO Network) was established in accordance with EFSA’s strategy for cooperation and networking with Member States. The goals of the GMO Network are to improve dialogue among members, build mutua ...
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) identified the need to provide further clarification on the Guidance for the risk assessment of food and feed from genetically modified plants (EFSA GMO Panel, 2011), specifically in the context of the risk assess ...
To meet the general requirement for transparency in EFSA’s work, all its scientific assessments must consider uncertainty. Assessments must say clearly and unambiguously what sources of uncertainty have been identified and what is their impact on the asse ...
The GMO Panel has previously assessed the single events Bt11, 59122, MIR604, 1507 and GA21 as well as different stacked events corresponding to combinations of these events and no safety concerns were identified. In its assessment of the five-event maize ...
In this opinion, the GMO Panel assessed the four-event stack maize 1507 × 59122 × MON810 × NK603 and its ten subcombinations, independently of their origin. The GMO Panel previously assessed the four single events combined in this four-event stack maize ...
