摘要

Proponents and opponents of modern agricultural biotechnology hold passionate views about the benefits and risks of using this technology to produce genetically modified (GM) food. To ensure public confidence in GM foods, the U.S. biotechnology industry recognized in the early 1990s the need for oversight by FDA, which has primary responsibility for the safety of most of the nations food supply. In response, FDA published guidelines in 1992 to ensure that companies developing GM foods worked with the agency in assessing the safety of these foods. As part of the process, companies test new GM foods to assess their safety, including their potential health risks, and submit test data to FDA for evaluation. In light of the continued debate about GM foods, you asked us to (1) identify the types of potential human health risks associated with GM foods and experts views regarding the adequacy of tests used to evaluate these risks, (2) describe FDAs controls for ensuring that companies submit test data it requests and identify experts views of the agencys overall evaluations of these foods, (3) describe potential changes in future GM foods and any associated changes in tests to evaluate them, and (4) identify experts views on the necessity and feasibility of monitoring the long-term health risks of these foods.
