EFSA opinion dangerously underestimates dangers of gene-edited crops


EFSA dismisses off-target effects that concern scientists all over the world as "of very limited value for risk assessment"

A new opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) dangerously underestimates the risks posed by gene-edited crops and paves the way for their de-regulation – envisioning a future in which few or no safety checks would be carried out.

We at GMWatch have published our analysis of this opinion, divided into two parts: Part I is an overview for those who want the broad picture, while Part II is a detailed scientific analysis (with technical terms explained).
