澳新批准一种转基因油菜用于食品

 

    据了解，本次申请由拜耳作物公司于2016年12月9日提交。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，将转基因油菜MS11用于食品，其安全性与普通油菜相当，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 on 9 December 2016. The Applicant requested a variation to Schedule 26 in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code （the Code） to include food from a new genetically modified （GM） canola （Brassica napus） line, MS11. This canola line has been genetically modified to confer two novel agronomic traits-tolerance to the broad spectrum herbicide glufosinate ammonium and expression of male sterility.

 

    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.
