7277 Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms, European Food Safety Authority Statement of the GMO Panel on the Safe Use of the NptII Antibiotic Resistance Marker Gene in Genetically Modified Plants
URL: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/science/gmo/statements0/npt2.html
Format: HTML PDF
The GMO Panel reiterates its earlier conclusions (EFSA, 2004) that the use of the nptII gene as selectable marker in GM plants (and derived food or feed) does not pose a risk to human or animal health or to the environment. The GMO Panel also confirms earlier safety assessments of GM plants and derived food/feed comprising the nptII gene.

Report of a study to determine how businesses are adapting to and complying with GM food labeling requirements in Australia that went into effect in December 2001. Products derived from corn and soy were tested for the presence of GM food, labels were examined, and documents of food manufacturers, importers, and retailers were surveyed for evidence that their products were in compliance with GM food regulations. The presence of a management system for determining GM status of ingredients was also included in the document surveys. Determining the usefulness of document surveys in determining compliance with GM food labeling requirements was also an objective of this study.
