EFSA to present draft GM allergenicity guidance
Oct. 6, 2016
EFSA invites representatives of Member States, scientific experts, NGOs, industry and international partners to participate.
Following a workshop in June 2015, this is the second time that EFSA engages its stakeholders in the shaping of this document as part of its efforts to achieve more transparency and move towards an ‘Open EFSA’. EFSA has sought input from interested parties on its draft guidance during a two-month public consultation which ended in September.
Discussing finalisation of guidance document
Following a presentation of the draft guidance document, participants will hear about the feedback received during the public consultation and discuss approaches for the finalisation of the document.
The assessment of potential allergenicity is an integral part of the overall risk assessment of GM plants before being commercialised in the European Union (EU). The supplementary guidance on allergenicity will reflect relevant technical advances and new scientific findings since the current guidance was published in 2011.
