EFSA Releases Assessment of GM Oilseed Rape MON 88302
May 28, 2025| |
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) has released its Scientific Opinion on the safety of genetically modified (GM) herbicide tolerant oilseed rape MON 88302, for food and feed uses, excluding cultivation within the European Union (EU).
Following the submission of dossier GMFF-2023-21220 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Bayer CropScience LP, the EFSA GMO Panel was asked to deliver a Scientific Opinion for the renewal of authorization of GM oilseed rape MON 88302. In their Scientific Opinion, the GMO Panel states that it has previously assessed the event in oilseed rape MON 88302, and that there is no evidence for new hazards, modified exposure, or scientific uncertainties that would change the conclusions of the original risk assessment in 2014.
The GMO Panel's assessment did not identify any new information raising safety concerns for human and animal health and the environment which would change the original risk assessment conclusions on oilseed rape MON 88302.
For more details, read the Scientific Opinion for MON 88302 in the EFSA Journal.
