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. Licenses are valid for 10 years and all products produced from these genetically modified plants are subject to strict EU labeling and traceability rules.
