Regular notification 2023-12-20
G/SPS/N/SGP/84

Description

Currently, SFA subjects all GEd crops to SFA’s pre-market safety assessment and approval for genetically modified (GM) food. Following a review of the regulatory framework, developers can submit information to notify SFA on GEd crops that are equivalent to conventionally bred crops, and be exempted from the GMO pre-market safety assessment.
