}According to the information reported by the WHO, the genetically modified (GM) products that are currently on the international market have all passed risk assessments conducted by national authorities. [] Key Method Studies about the safety of the potential use of potatoes, corn, soybeans, rice, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet pepper, peas, and canola plants for food and feed were included. The number of references was surprisingly limited. Moreover, most published studies were not performed by the biotechnology…

Human Health Effects of Genetically Modified (GM) Plants: Risk and Perception
- Medicine
- 2011
There was not sufficient published information concerning safety of GM foods in general, and GM crops/plants, in particular, 10 years ago, and a new and wide revision of the scientific literature on the potential adverse health/toxic effects of GM/transgenic plants was published.

The main purpose of this study is to review the impact of GM products on human, animal, and environmental health and report several benefits that result from their commercialization, such as economic, environmental, and health benefits for the general public.
Safety Assessment of Genetically Modified Feed: Is There Any Difference From Food?

The regulatory framework of GM crops intended for animal feed is reviewed using the available information on GM food as the baseline and the concentration of novel proteins in different plant tissues and level of exposure to GM feedstuff in the diet of target animals should be considered.

Possible risks for human health, the environment, or for the environment (such as the appearance of superweeds as a result from gene flow), should be carefully studied, and a science‐based assessment of benefits vs. risks should be made on a csae by case basis.
