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

2019
Abstract This chapter examines comparative approaches to risk assessment and regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It first provides a brief background on the emergence, increased use, and controversy surrounding GMOs as well as the important legal questions and complexities they raise before discussing the legal ...

Genetically Modified Organisms Law

2018
Within the field of conflict between the conservation of natural resources and the production of food, the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO) remains subject of highly controversial discussions. On the one hand, genetic engineering allows the creation of high-yield or pest and pesticide-resistant plants and thus enables better production, even

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,

Detection of genetically modified organisms in foods

Trends in Biotechnology, 2002
Legislation enacted worldwide to regulate the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in crops, foods and ingredients, necessitated the development of reliable and sensitive methods for GMO detection. In this article, protein- and DNA-based methods employing western blots, enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, lateral flow strips, Southern blots,

Biosafety Issues of Genetically Modified Organisms [PDF]

Biosafety, 2014
Genetic engineering (GE) and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provide powerful tools for sustainable development in agriculture, healthcare and many other industries. GMOs are those which were genetically engineered in a laboratory by incorporating a small foreign DNA fragment carrying a gene of interest into the native DNA of the organism.
