Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a viral disease primarily of cloven-hoofed animals that can profoundly affect animal husbandry by evolving into severe epidemics that reduce the productivity of susceptible livestock.. Hunting activities are considered valu ...
This guidance of the Scientific Committee, prepared on request of EFSA, describes the scientific rationale for a number of default values to be used in a harmonised way across EFSA Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels and Units; it also harmonises the ...
This document provides guidance for the risk assessment of food and feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified (GM) animals, as well as for the health and welfare assessment of these animals, within the framework of Regulation (E ...
Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee developed principles and guidance for the establishment of protocols for 90-day whole food/feed studies in rodents. The guidance complements the OECD Test guideline 408 and provide ...
The European Commission asked the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA GMO Panel) to update its 2006 scientific opinion on Post-Market Environmental Monitoring (PMEM) of Genetically Modified Plants (GMPs). Fo ...
Following a request from the Association of Manufacturers and Formulators of Enzyme Products (AMFEP), the European Food Safety Authority was asked to deliver a scientific assessment on trial descriptions of hypothetical strains of Bacillus licheniformis a ...
Genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) are involved in the production of a variety of food and feed. The marketing of these products within the European Union falls under different legislative instruments, which establish the requirement for a risk as ...
This opinion provides guidance in the area of comparators taking into account the requirements for the molecular characterisation, the food and feed and the environmental risk assessments. A key step in the risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) pla ...
This document provides updated guidance for the risk assessment of food and feed containing, consisting or produced from genetically modified (GM) plants, submitted within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed. The risk assessm ...
The European Food Safety Authority has developed a practical approach for assessing potential risks arising from applications of nanoscience and nanotechnologies in the food and feed chain. Guidance is provided on: (i) the physico-chemical characterisatio ...
