Date and Time

Meeting
Twelfth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA 12)

With input from more than 30 scientists over the past two years, we have identified 65 adverse reactions and theoretical health risks of GM foods. Current national safety assessments are unable to identify most of these, and industry-sponsored research is designed to avoid finding them. Taken together, the evidence is compelling and justifies a ban of GM foods for health reasons.
