EFSA to Evaluate CRIIGEN Publication on GM Maize
March 23, 2007| |
The Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN) recently published a report on genetically modified maize MON 863 containing a revised statistical analysis of the 90 day rat study considered in the risk assessment. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said that it will carefully evaluate the CRIIGEN publication and its new statistical analysis including any possible significance this publication may have on the risk assessment of MON 863. MON 863 maize has been subject to a comprehensive risk assessment by EFSA and by other authorities which did not identify any adverse effects on human and animal health or the environment.
