| Sumario: | This series represents a compilation of the science-based Consensus Documents developed by the OECD Task Force for the Safety of Novel Foods and Feeds since 2001. They contain information for use during the regulatory assessment of food/feed products of modern biotechnology, i.e. issued from transgenic crops. Relevant information includes compositional considerations (nutrients, anti-nutrients, toxicants, allergens), use of the plant species as food/feed, and other elements. These documents should be of value to applicants for commercial uses of novel foods and feeds, to regulators and risk assessors in national authorities for their comparative approach, as well as the wider scientific community. More information on this OECD work is found at BioTrack Online (http://www.oecd.org/biotrack).
