Food derived from
glyphosate-tolerant cotton variety GHB614
(Application
A614 – Initial Assessment)
http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/_srcfiles/A614_IAR_GM_cotton_FINAL.pdf
Bayer CropScience is
seeking approval for food derived from glyphosate-tolerant
cotton, line GHB614 – a cotton variety that has been
genetically modified (GM) to be resistant to glyphosate
herbicide. FSANZ must undertake a pre-market safety
assessment of GM crops before approving their use for human
consumption. The oil and linters of this cotton variety are
intended for use in food. We invite the views of interested
parties.
Food derived from insect-protected
cotton line COT67B
(Application
A615 – Initial Assessment)
http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/_srcfiles/A615_IAR_GM_Cotton_FINAL.pdf
Syngenta Seeds Pty Ltd has
applied to FSANZ to approve food derived from cotton
genetically modified to provide resistance to Lepidopteran
species. Oil and linters are the only food products derived
from cotton. We will only approve the application if we are
satisfied that the GM food is as safe as its non-GM
counterpart. We are seeking the views of interested parties.
