Traceability of genetically modified organisms

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2002
EU regulations stipulate the labeling of food products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) unless the GMO content is due to adventitious and unintended 'contamination' and not exceeding the 1% level at ingredient basis. In addition, member states have to ensure full traceability at all stages of the placing on the market of GMOs.

Genetically modified organisms and the EU

Trends in Biotechnology, 2005
In our opinion, the present approach of Commission decisions in the absence of clear majorities in Council does not seem appropriate to approve GMOs on a routine basis. One way to overcome this democratic deficit would be to establish a ‘positive list’ for approved products similar to the Directive on Food Additives [10xSee all References][10]. In this

Genetically Modified Organisms

The Bovine Practitioner, 2001
Tremendous advances in the life sciences have paved the way for the development of a powerful array of new biotechnologies. As a consequence, the promise of the genetic manipulation of food animals for social benefit is now becoming a reality. This paper is intended to provide the bovine practitioner with a brief introduction to biotechnology, genomics,

Genetically Modified Organisms

2016
With the increased global production of different genetically modified (GM) plant varieties, chances increase that unauthorized GM organisms (UGMOs) may enter the food chain. At the same time, the detection of UGMOs is a challenging task because of the limited sequence information that will generally be available.
