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 ...
Clear guidance on conducting Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of nanomaterials is becoming more and more relevant as new applications of nanomaterials in the food and feed chain are developed. Upon request from EFSA, this report compiles and structures ...
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 ...
This report is the outcome of an EFSA procurement (NP/EFSA/GMO/2018/01) reviewing relevant scientific information on in silico prediction methods for protein toxicity, that could support the food and feed risk assessment. Several proteins are associated w ...
This report describes the tasks performed in the period 6/12/2019 to 16/07/2020under the EFSA contract OC/EFSA/GMO/2018/02, Lot 2 on toxicological studies and animal feeding studies included in applicationsfor market authorisation of genetically modified ...
This report describes the tasks performed in the period 28/11/2018 to 5/12/2019under the EFSA contract OC/EFSA/GMO/2018/02, Lot 2 on toxicological studies and animal feeding studies included in applicationsfor market authorisation of genetically modified ...
The present document is a summary of the activities undertaken during the first year of the framework contract (OC/EFSA/SCER/2018/01) undertaken for the maintenance, update and further development of EFSA's chemical Hazards database “OpenFodTox 2.0”. ...
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 primary objective of the assessment of novel proteins is to evaluate whether they are safe to consume, including potential allergenicity. As part of a suite of assessments, the in vitro digestion of protein has been seen as a useful exercise. Thus, in ...
