APHIS Approves Non Regulated Status of HT Corn, Male Sterile Corn and HT Canola
October 2, 2013| |
The United States Animal and Plant Health Inspection has deregulated three genetically modified events in corn and canola in three separate directives. Herbicide tolerant corn event VCO-O1981-5 developed by Genective was evaluated under the Plant Pest Risk Assessment which concluded that it is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and should no longer be subject to regulations. The full text of the APHIS decision can be viewed at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/aphisdocs/11_34201p_det.pdf.
Male sterile corn event MON87427 developed by Monsanto has likewise been given a certificate of deregulation by APHIS and the full text can be seen at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/aphisdocs/10_28101p_det.pdf.
Similarly, glyphosate tolerant canola MON88302 was given a non regulated status by APHIS after thorough risk assessment. Full details can be seen at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/aphisdocs/11_34201p_det.pdf.
