Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 7: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2017

The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) concept was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre-evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's scientific Panels. The identity, body of knowledge, safety conc ...

Risk assessment of information on the subcombination Bt11 × 1507 × GA21, related to the application of Syngenta (EFSA-GMO-DE-2011-99) for authorisation of food and feed containing, consisting and produced from genetically modified maize Bt11 × 59122 × MIR

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 ...
