"These announcements from the European Union demonstrate a strong commitmentto science-based decision-making to allow farmers to choose biotech crops fortheir farms," said Jerry Hjelle, regulatory lead for Monsanto.
"These arecritical steps forward in affirming the safety and benefits of biotech crops."EU Underscores Safety of YieldGard Insect-Protected Corn The company welcomed the news that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)has once again underscored the safety of YieldGard insect-protected corn alex rodriguez . In its opinion, EFSA confirmed that the product, also known as MON 810, issafe for cultivation, animal feed and human consumption.The in-depth safety review of the YieldGard insect-protected corn borertechnology, which protects corn plants from the devastating effects of theEuropean corn borer insect, is required every 10 years baseball tickets . The original reviewand approval of MON 810 in the European Union occurred in 1998 cc sabathia . "The technology notonly helps to provide superior grain yields to farmers, but assists indramatically reducing or eliminating outright the need for pesticideapplications to control the corn borer pest."YieldGard works by enabling corn plants to produce a protein called Cry1Abwhich comes from a naturally-occurring bacteria called Bacillus thuringiensis,commonly known as Bt derek jeter autographed baseball . The extensivescientific review considered all of the new safety studies conducted sincethen."Millions of farmers across the globe have been cultivating YieldGard for wellover a decade, and its safety and benefits have been proven time and again,"said Dusty Post, global corn technology lead for Monsanto.
