EFSA accused of shortcutting GMO risk assessment procedure

摘要

The EU's food safety watchdog has produced a positive opinion on a "stacked event" genetically modified organism (GMO) designed for food and feed without requesting adequate tests for health risks, according to German research group Testbiotech.rnIn a statement released last week, the anti-GMO group alleged that the Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences product,rnMON89034xl507xMON88017x59122 maize, or SmartStax, could soon be authorised for use in food and feed within the EU, despite being a health threat.
