Information on the content of the resource
The Guideline describes the recommended approach for the food safety assessment of foods derived from
recombinant-DNA animals where a conventional counterpart exists, and identifies the data and information that are generally applicable to making such assessments. In assessing the safety of food from recombinant-DNA animals, this approach takes into account the following (a) the nature of the recombinant-DNA construct and its expression product(s), if any; (b) the health status of the recombinant-DNA animal; and (c) the composition of foods produced from recombinant-DNA animals, including key nutrients.
