    • SAFETY OF GM FOOD
    Monday, July 5, 2010

    GM food is considered to be safe for consumption internationally after many reviews done by various international scientific organizations for many years. All GM food must pass rigorous risk assessments to ensure it is safe for human consumption before it can be sold in the international market. GM food is governed by guidelines at both international and country levels. The international guidelines for assessing the safety of food derived from GM organisms are issued by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which is the international reference body for food standards.

    In Singapore, the Genetic Modification Advisory Committee (GMAC) sets guidelines for the import, dispensation and use of GM products. GMAC was established in 1999 to oversee and advise on research and development, production, use, handling and release of GM organisms in Singapore. The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) in Singapore also follows the guidelines of both Codex and GMAC for assess and approval of GM foods for consumption in Singapore.
