The official methods currently in use to check for GMOs in consignments of rice and rice products coming from China are introduced in this online seminar.
The issue’s history, pertinent laws governing the regulation of GMOs, as well as recommendations and best practises for using the official procedures, are all described.
There is also guidance on the design of experiments, an explanation of how the results should be interpreted, and information on reliable sources of pertinent reference materials.
People working in official control laboratories, the food industry, and those involved with the UK official control system are the target audience for the online seminar.
Through the Government Chemist Program and the Joint Knowledge Transfer Framework for Food Standards and Food Safety Analysis, the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland, and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) jointly funded the creation of this online seminar.
