In its food and feed safety assessment the ACNFP concluded that the composition of grain from the GM maize did not differ significantly from conventionally bred maize. The ACNFP was also satisfied that none of the gene products from the introduced genes were present in the processed maize.
The Food Advisory Committee (FAC) recommended that there is no need for any special labelling in this case, but encouraged the provision of information on a voluntary basis in response to public interest.
Copies of the four ACNFP reports on processed products from genetically modified (GM) maize are available free of charge from the ACNFP Administrative Secretariat, MAFF, Room 239c, Ergon House c/o Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR.
