“<br />
The level of<br />
safety associated<br />
with (genetically<br />
modified) foods is<br />
at least as high as<br />
that of any other<br />
available foods<br />
because the<br />
safety assessment<br />
process<br />
undertaken for GM<br />
foods is far more<br />
thorough than that<br />
undertaken for any<br />
other food. The<br />
safety assessment<br />
process ensures<br />
that GM foods<br />
provide all the<br />
benefits of<br />
conventional food<br />
and no additional<br />
risks.<br />

“<br />
We have seen<br />
no evidence that<br />
the bioengineered<br />
foods now on the<br />
market pose any<br />
human health<br />
concerns or that<br />
they are in any<br />
way less safe than<br />
crops produced<br />
through traditional<br />
breeding.<br />
