EU: 0.1% GMO threshold in feed
On June 25, 2011, the European Commission published a regulation for low level presence of non-EU approved genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in feed, which will come into force 20 days after publication. A 0.1% threshold then replaces the former zero tolerance level for unapproved GMOs. It applies under certain conditions for GM material authorised for commercialisation in a third country, and for which the EU approval procedure has been pending for more than three months, as well as for certain GMOs for which the authorisation has expired.
