Codex Alimentarius

The Codex Alimentarius Commission at its twenty-sixth session in 2003 adopted overarching principles on the risk analysis of foods derived from modern biotechnology and guidelines for food safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant-DNA plants or produced using recombinant-DNA micro-organisms. This compact volume contains these adopted texts to promote wide use and understanding of the risk analysis process of food derived from modern biotechnology by governments, food industries and consumers.
