The EFSA GMO Panel provides independent scientific advice on the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The Panel carries out risk assessments in order to produce scientific opinions and advice for risk managers. Its risk assessment work is based on reviewing scientific information and data in order to evaluate the safety of a given GMO. This helps to provide a sound foundation for European policies and legislation and supports risk managers in taking effective and timely decisions. The Panel carries out much of its work in the context of authorisation applications, since all GM food and feed products must be evaluated by EFSA before they can be authorised in the EU.
