澳新批准一种转基因棉花产品用于食品

 

    据了解，本次申请由拜耳作物公司提交。澳新食品标准局经过风险评估认为，在现有数据的基础之上，将转基因棉花GHB811产品用于食品，其安全性与普通棉花相当，因此批准其应用。

 

    部分原文报道如下：

 

    Food Standards Australia New Zealand （FSANZ） received an Application from Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd requesting a variation to Schedule 26 in the Australia New Zealand

 

    Food Standards Code （the Code） to include food derived from a new genetically modified （GM） cotton （Gossypium hirsutum） line, GHB811. This cotton line has been genetically modified for dual-herbicide tolerance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole.

 

    The primary objective of FSANZ in developing or varying a food regulatory measure, as stated in section 18 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 （FSANZ Act）， is the protection of public health and safety. Accordingly, the safety assessment is a central part of considering an application.
