I wrote a few weeks ago about research by Séralini et al that raised concerns about the potential toxicity of genetically modified maize NK603 and of a herbicide containing glycophosate. You will find it elsewhere on my blog, under We need more Foxes and less foxiness.
You may be interested in EFSA's final evaluation of the paper by Séralini et al. EFSA says: 'Serious defects in the design and methodology… mean it does not meet acceptable scientific standards and there is no need to re-examine the previous safety evaluations of genetically modified maize NK603.'
These are the conclusions of separate and independent assessments carried out by the European Food Safety Authority and six Member States following publication in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology on 19 September 2012. What are your conclusions?
