ACS-GMØØ6-4 - Liberty Link™ soybean| Bayer CropScience | Resistance to herbicides (Glufosinate)
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) evaluated information submitted by the applicant, information available on the Biosafety Clearing House (BCH) which is a mechanism set up by the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to facilitate the exchange of information on Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and assist the Parties to better comply with their obligations under the Protocol and to which Ghana is a Party, information available on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Biotrack Product Database, as well as information available on the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) genetically modified foods platform.
Findings showed that safety and nutritional assessments of the soybean event A5547-127approved in Argentina, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, USA, Australia, and European Union confirm the event is as safe as its conventional counterpart. The TAC also noted that there are other countries where similar approvals had been granted on the soybean event A5547-127 including Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Viet Nam, Philippines, Costa Rica, Uruguay, and Colombia. These countries have also approved the soybean event A5547-127 for various purposes, including for cultivation, and for direct use as food, feed or for processing (FFP)
The TAC concludes that, based on the assessment of the soybean event A5547-127approved for direct use as food, feed or for processing in the country of origin (South Africa) and 16 other countries, there are no biosafety concerns with the event intended to be imported for direct use as food, feed and for processing in Ghana.
