2019年4月12日,欧盟食品安全局(EFSA)发布消息,拟修订从加拿大和美国进口转基因大豆中的活性物质2,4‐D的进口最大残留限量。
据了解,Dow AgroSciences向希腊国家主管当局提交了一份申请,要求对从加拿大和美国进口的转基因大豆中的活性物质2,4‐D设定进口最大残留限量。根据提交的数据,欧盟食品安全局得出结论,在用2,4-D处理的转基因大豆中发现其残留物不太可能给消费者带来风险。
部分原文报道如下:
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Dow AgroSciences submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to set an import tolerance for the active substance 2,4‐D in genetically modified (GM) soyabeans imported from Canada and the USA. The genetic modification confers tolerance to the herbicide 2,4‐D. The data submitted in support of the request provided sufficient evidence to conclude that residues of parent 2,4‐D and of the metabolite 2,4‐dichlorophenol (2,4‐DCP), which was found in the GM soybeans treated with 2,4‐D, are unlikely to present a risk for consumers. Sufficiently validated analytical methods are available to enforce the proposed maximum residue level (MRL) in soybeans.
