食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2024年4月26日,歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)發(fā)布消息,應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求,歐盟食品安全局轉(zhuǎn)基因生物(GMO)專家組就轉(zhuǎn)基因玉米MON 94804用于食品和飼料中的安全性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。
經(jīng)過評估,轉(zhuǎn)基因小組得出結(jié)論,就對人類和動物健康及環(huán)境的潛在影響而言,轉(zhuǎn)基因玉米MON 94804與其傳統(tǒng)對應(yīng)品種和經(jīng)過測試的非轉(zhuǎn)基因玉米品種一樣安全。部分原文報道如下:
Genetically modified (GM) maize MON 94804 was developed to achieve a reduction in plant height by introducing the GA20ox_SUP suppression cassette. The molecular characterisation and bioinformatic analyses do not identify issues requiring food/feed safety assessment. None of the agronomic/phenotypic and compositional differences identified between maize MON 94804 and its conventional counterpart needs further assessment, except for ear height, plant height and levels of carbohydrates in forage, which do not raise safety or nutritional concerns. The Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) does not identify safety concerns regarding the toxicity and allergenicity of the GA20ox_SUP precursor-miRNA and derived mature miRNA as expressed in maize MON 94804 and finds no evidence that the genetic modification would change the overall allergenicity of maize MON 94804. In the context of this application, the consumption of food and feed from maize MON 94804 does not represent a nutritional concern in humans and animals. The GMO Panel concludes that maize MON 94804 is as safe as the conventional counterpart and non-GM maize varieties tested, and no post-market monitoring of food/feed is considered necessary. In the case of accidental release of viable maize MON 94804 grains into the environment, this would not raise environmental safety concerns. The post-market environmental monitoring plan and reporting intervals are in line with the intended uses of maize MON 94804. The GMO Panel concludes that maize MON 94804 is as safe as its conventional counterpart and the tested non-GM maize varieties with respect to potential effects on human and animal health and the environment.
