Is confidence in the monitoring of GE foods justified

摘要: Often the limits of detection genetically engineered organisms (GEOs, LMOs, GMOs) determine what legislation sets as thresholds allowable contamination human food chain with GEOs. Many countries have that is triggered by certain contamination. Importantly, international trade in and animal feed becoming increasingly vulnerable to interruptions caused ambiguity GEOs can create when shipments are monitored at border. We examine tools available for detection. Four key error-generating stages identified aim prompting a higher uniform standard routine analysis export import points.
