The European Commission has given the green light for the use of genetically modified corn as food for both humans and animals, and has also renewed the authorization for two types of genetically modified rapeseed. These authorizations, valid for a decade, are based on a positive evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority, which deemed these crops as safe as their traditional counterparts. However, the approval only allows for the import of these genetically modified organisms into the EU from third countries, not their cultivation within the EU. Any products derived from these crops will have to adhere to strict EU labeling and traceability standards.
