FAO/WHO FOOD SAFETY ASSESSMENTS OF FOODS DERIVED FROM BIOTECHNOLOGY

FAO and WHO have provided expert scientific advice on the food safety aspects of foods derived from biotechnology since 1991. While not officially part of the Codex Alimentarius Commission structure, the FAO/WHO Expert Consultations in this area provide independent scientific expert advice to the Commission and its specialist Committees and Task Forces. FAO and WHO maintain separate websites highlighting this work from the points of view of the two parent Organizations.
