Exposure assessment and toxicology studies of genetically modified foods in line of regulation (ЕС) № 513/2013

In recent years in EU is increasing the importance of assessinghealthrisks of GMO crops.

Given the increased sensitivity on food consumption and use of feed containing GMOs requirements for the safety assessment of any new GMOs for registration are harmonized. It is necessary to accumulate enough scientific data to prove the necessity of conducting toxicity tests and approaches to be applied in the safety assessment of GMOs. Should not be overlooked and the consumer's right to have an informed choice.
In the last years actively debated the role and importance of toxicology tests on animals. In 2013 new Regulation № 503/2013 for implementation of risk assessment procedures in line of Regulation № 1829/2004 was adopted. Questions raised are whether a need for more detailed studies to investigate biological and long-termeffects of GMOs on humans and animals? And how will conduct exposure assessment of GM food, as a part from risk assessment?
