Hypothesis
Is genetically modified DP915635 maize safe for human and animal consumption and the environment?
Conclusion
The study concludes that DP915635 maize is as safe as conventional maize for food and feed use and unlikely to cause adverse environmental effects.
Supporting Evidence
- No hazards were identified for human or animal consumption of DP-915635-4 maize.
- The environmental risk assessment indicated that DP-915635-4 maize is unlikely to result in unreasonable adverse effects to non-target organisms.
- The study utilized a modernized safety assessment model published by CropLife International.
Takeaway
Scientists checked a new type of corn to see if it's safe to eat and safe for the environment, and they found it is safe just like regular corn.
Methodology
The safety assessment included molecular characterization, protein expression analysis, and environmental risk assessment.
