GMO Safety and Regulations by Alan McHughen
December 17, 2014| |
Alan McHughen, scientist from the University of California, wrote an article in Beyond the Science about GMO Safety and Regulations. He said that GM crops and foods are regulated at every stage of production from research planning through field testing, food and environmental safety assessment, and after commercial use. Thus, pushing for increased regulation ignores the robust review of biotech crops that are already in place.
