In addition to the #deregulation of plants derived from #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs), the @EUCommission is already planning to lower the #safetystandards for #geneticallyengineered microorganisms (#GMMOs).

#ChatGPT creates #geneticallyengineered insecticidal maize plant – check out the freshly published article in Frontiers in Plant Science!

According to the @EUCommission legislative proposal, this #NGT plant would not have to be tested for risks or labelled.

@testbiotech demands: This proposal must be rejected, because it does not guarantee safe handling of #NGTplants. It is already technically and scientifically obsolete before it would even come into force.

#geneticallyengineered animals: According to the European Food Safety Authority @[email protected] there are no new risks associated with the use of #newgeneticengineering techniques (#NGT).

In contrast, a fullness of scientific publications show that #CRISPR & Co. are likely to result in specific risks and additional animal suffering.

Claim that #Chinese #scientists created 100% fatal #COVID19strain misconstrues study’s findings

Researchers in #China recently released a study, which has not been peer-reviewed, that tested the #GX_P2V #coronavirus on #geneticallyengineered mice. Although #GXP2V belongs to the coronavirus family, it did not originate from #SARS-CoV-2, which causes #COVID19.

In light of new findings on #environmentalrisks of #geneticallyengineered plants in Europe, Testbiotech is calling on #Bayer and the @[email protected] to end the cultivation of transgenic maize MON810 in Spain and Portugal.

The first #CRISPR tomatoes are on the shelves in Japan. Neither the benefits nor the risks have been investigated in detail. Consumption is not recommended for pregnant women.

The first #CRISPR tomatoes are on the shelves in Japan. Neither the benefits nor the risks have been investigated in detail. Consumption is not recommended for pregnant women.

If #newgeneticengineering (#NewGE) is deregulated in Europe as proposed by the @[email protected] such products could soon be on the shelves here too – without #riskassessment and without labeling.
