EFSA GMO Panel Releases Scientific Opinion on GM Soybean DBN9004
July 9, 2025| |
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) released a Scientific Opinion on genetically modified (GM) herbicide tolerant soybean DBN9004 for import, processing, and food and feed use within the European Union (EU).
GM soybean DBN9004 was developed to confer tolerance against glufosinate-ammonium- and glyphosate-containing herbicides by introducing cp4 epsps and pat expression cassettes. Submitted by Beijing DaBeiNong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (DBNBC), the application EFSA-GMO-BE-2019-165 was evaluated according to Regulation (EC) No. 503/2013.
The GMO Panel identified no safety concerns regarding the toxicity and allergenicity of the proteins expressed in soybean DBN9004. In this application, the food and feed uses do not represent a nutritional concern in humans and animals. The Panel concluded that soybean DBN9004 is as safe as the conventional counterpart and non‐GM soybean varieties tested, and does not require post-market food and feed consumption monitoring.
