Abstract
This synopsis reviews published in vivo studies on possible health consequences of genetically modified food and feed where the ingredients in question have consisted of genetically modified plant materials. The following, however, have not been taken into consideration:
ingredients consisting of genetically modified microorganisms or parts of animals/fish ingredients produced by/from genetically modified organisms but without any DNA present studies on consequences for the environment or biodiversity in vitro studies or computer simulations
According to a Norwegian report “Gen-mat” (NOU 2000:29), and a more recent search in Medline and Citations Index, to our knowledge a total of ten studies have been published on the health effects of GM-foods and feeds. In this minireview the data made available in these published studies is discussed.
