This statement supplements and updates the GMO Panel guidance document on allergenicity of genetically modified (GM) plants published in 2017. In that guidance document, the GMO Panel considered that additional investigations on in vitro protein digestibi ...
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA assessed the 2018 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of Cry1Ab‐expressing maize event MON 810. Like previous years, there was partial compliance with refuge requ ...
Recent advances in molecular and synthetic biology are enabling the engineering of gene drives that spread genes of interest through interbreeding populations at a frequency greater than the rate expected by simple Mendelian inheritance. At present, insec ...
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) organised the International Conference on Uncertainty in Risk Analysis. Its aim was to bring together internationally recognized leaders of uncertainty an ...
EFSA carries out the risk assessment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) submitted under Regulation (EC) 1829/2003 and Regulation (EU) 503/2013. Dietary exposure is an essential element of the risk assessment on genetically modified (GM) foods. Dieta ...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA assessed the 2017 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of Cry1Ab‐expressing maize event MON 810. Like previous years, partial compliance with refuge requirements is re ...
In recent years, the development of innovative tools in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics (designated collectively as 'omics technologies) has opened up new possibilities for applications in scientific research and led to the ava ...
The GMO Panel has previously assessed genetically modified (GM) carnation FLO‐40685‐2 and concluded that there is no scientific reason to consider that the import, distribution and retailing in the EU of carnation FLO‐40685‐2 cut flowers for ornamental us ...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA assessed the annual post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report for the 2016 growing season of the Cry1Ab‐expressing maize event MON 810 provided by Monsanto Europe S.A. Partial compliance with ...
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 ...
