This report was prepared at the request of Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Environment Canada. It addresses the safety and regulation of genetically modified foods in Canada. Topics discussed include genetically modified foods and food production, the regulatory environment, potential effects on human health (including toxicants and allergens), nutrition, potential threats to animal health and welfare and food safety, and potential environmental risks. Regulatory issues such as the concept of substantial equivalence, the precautionary principle, risk assessment, and labeling policies are also addressed
