Scientific and regulatory authorities around the world have studied biotech crops and found that foods from approved biotech crops are as safe as those from their conventional counterparts. Before any biotech crop is commercialised it undergoes rigorous government – mandated safety testing and regulatory assessment spanning multiple years and systematic testing. The safety of these products is reviewed by independent regulatory agencies according to internationally agreed-upon assessment guidelines.
