Additional Information
The policy of total GM ingredient screening in food raw materials and foodstuffs is carried out in Belarus. Laboratory does not identify a separate LMO, because in according the Republic of Belarus legislation all food raw materials and foodstuffs, which include corn and soybean, are under the control of GM-ingredient. Nonthreshold ("Yes-No”) principle has been adopted in Belarus (“35S promoter/NOS terminator was detected" - "35S promoter/NOS terminator was not detected”).
