GM Oilseed Rapes Authorized for Import and Use as Animal Feeds
April 4, 2007| |
The European Commission recently authorized the import and use as animal feed of three oilseed rapes Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3, genetically modified for tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. The authorization does not cover cultivation and food use of the oilseed rapes. Products containing Ms8, Rf3 or Ms8xRf3 will need to be clearly labeled as containing genetically modified oilseed rape. Bayer, the company that developed the oilseed rapes, will have to undertake measures to prevent any damage to health and the environment in the event of accidental spillage.
