Peer-reviewed Recommendations for Regulation of GM Crop

On January 19, 2021, CropLife International announced the publication of peer-reviewed recommendations to modernize the regulation of genetically modified crops in the open access Journal of Regulatory Science. A copy of the study is attached. CropLife argues that since the commercial introduction of GM crops over 25 years ago, technology developers and regulatory authorities all over the world have gained significant experience in evaluating their safety for humans, animals and the environment. It said that “in fact, over 3500 independent regulatory agency reviews have deemed these crops safe for food and feed, and GM crops have been consumed for decades by people and animals without a single confirmed health or safety issue.” CropLife hopes that the findings will provide a basis for future discussions and open collaborations between stakeholders and governments around modernizing approaches to regulating genetically modified crops, to make new agricultural innovations readily and widely available.
