Download or read book Guidance Document of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms for the Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Plants and Derived Food and Feed written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) adopted its guidance document for the risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) plants and derived food and feed on 24 September 2004. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the GMO Panel have consulted stakeholders prior to the final adoption of this document. This document provides guidance for the preparation and presentation of applications submitted within the framework of Regulation (EC) 1829/2003 on GM food and feed, and of Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This document therefore covers the full risk assessment of GM plants and derived food and feed. Issues related to risk management of GMOs (traceability, labelling, co-existence) are outside the scope of the guidance document. Guidance for the preparation of applications is given throughout the different chapters of the document. The first chapter of the guidance document clarifies the scope of the document and the legal background for the risk assessment of GMOs, GM food and feed at Community level. Chapter II describes the overall risk assessment strategy. Chapter III describes the issues to be considered when carrying out a comprehensive risk characterisation. These include molecular characterisation of the inserts, assessment of modification to the agronomic characteristics of the GM plant and evaluation of food/feed safety aspects of the GM plant and/or derived food and feed. Data on composition, toxicity, allergenicity, nutritional value and environmental impact provide, on a case-by-case basis, the cornerstones of the risk assessment process. The characterisation of risk may give rise to the need for further specific activities including post-market monitoring of the GM food/feed and/or for the environmental monitoring of GM plants. Finally, Chapter IV summaries the overall risk characterisation process.

Download or read book Genetically Engineered Crops written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.

Download or read book Food and Drink Good Manufacturing Practice written by Institute of Food Science and Technology and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) refers to advice and guidance put in place to outline the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality and safety of a product. In the case of food and drink, GMP is aimed at ensuring that products are safe for the consumer and are consistently manufactured to a quality appropriate to their intended use. Manufacturers have for several years been driving towards such goals as Total Quality Management (TQM), lean manufacturing and sustainability – GMP is bound up with these issues. The ever-increasing interest amongst consumers, retailers and enforcement authorities in the conditions and practices in food manufacture and distribution, increases the need for the food manufacturer to operate within clearly defined policies such as those laid down in GMP. The ability to demonstrate that Good Manufacturing Practice has been fully and effectively implemented could, in the event of a consumer complaint or a legal action, reduce the manufacturer’s liability and protect them from prosecution. First launched in 1986, IFST’s Good Manufacturing Practice Guide has been widely recognized as an indispensable reference work for food scientists and technologists. It sets out to ensure that food manufacturing processes deliver products that are uniform in quality, free from defects and contamination, and as safe as it is humanly possible to make them. This 6th edition has been completely revised and updated to include all the latest standards and guidance, especially with regard to legislation-driven areas such as HACCP. The Guide is a must have for anyone in a managerial or technical capacity concerned with the manufacture, storage and distribution of food and drink. It is also a valuable reference for food education, training and for those involved in food safety and enforcement. Food scientists in academic and industry environments will value its precision, and policy makers and regulatory organizations will find it an indispensable guide to an important and multifaceted area. About IFST IFST is the leading independent qualifying body for food professionals in Europe and the only professional body in the UK concerned with all aspects of food science and technology. IFST members are drawn from all over the world and from all ages and backgrounds, including industry (manufacturing, retailing and food service), universities and schools, government, research and development, quality assurance and food law enforcement. IFST qualifications are internationally recognised as a sign of proficiency and integrity.

Download or read book Genetics and Gene Therapy written by Sheila A.M. McLean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 1093 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics and Gene Therapy shows the wide range of the debate and the very real significance that genetics and its associated developments have for human beings, individually and collectively. Few areas of science and medicine have resulted in the volume of academic and popular literature as has genetics. The so-called revolution in understanding of the causes of disease states, and even behavioural traits, has focussed public attention on the influence of genes in making us what we are. Rapidly, however, the potential benefits of such understanding were overtaken, in the public mind at least, by the question of the possible (negative) implications of genetic knowledge and associated technologies. The chapters in this volume show just how wide-ranging concern has become, ranging from regulation to cloning, with the fear of discrimination in between. Part One begins with a range of general discussions of about the genetic enterprise itself, followed by consideration of some specific questions. Part Two then addresses cutting edge debates in genetics.
