The EU authorizes the use of genetically modified corn as food and feed
The European Commission has authorized the use of two varieties of genetically modified corn as food and feed, the Brussels body announced on Tuesday.
The commission’s authorization decision allows these genetically modified maize to be imported into the EU for use in food and feed, but still prohibits their cultivation in the EU.
The corn varieties have undergone a comprehensive and strict evaluation procedure, which ensures a high level of protection of human and animal health, as well as the environment, reads the commission’s press release.
The European Food Safety Authority issued a favorable scientific assessment prior to approval, stating that these genetically modified corns are as safe as their conventional counterparts.
