The applicant shall primarily base its risk assessment of the genetically modified food and feed on molecular characterisation, comparative agronomic, phenotypic and comprehensive compositional analysis, and the toxicological evaluation of the identified intended and unintended effects, including a 90-day feeding study in rodents with whole genetically modified food/feed as specified in Section 1.4.4.1.

The rapid alert system is a network of national authorities managed by the European Commission that exchanges information on measures taken to address potential health risks in the area of food and feed.

The system is based on the obligation for the members of a network to notify to the EFA any information relating to the existence of a serious direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed.
