Lim Li Ching highlights evidence of hazards of genetic engineering that can throw light on the way forward in building an international biosafety system.

[…] At the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, the most contentious issue that was not on the official agenda, but which reverberated through the corridors, was on GM food aid. […] In a comprehensive critique, Mae-Wan Ho sets out to show that the transfer of GM DNA in the human gut could be much more extensive than the data suggests. […] The Joint FAO/WHO Biotechnology and Food Safety Report shows up the glaring inadequacies in safety regulation of GE foods, designed to expedite product approval with little or no regard for biosafety. […] A report by the UK Medical Research Council, published in June 2000, goes beyond what many other groups have done in acknowledging that GM foods do pose special risks. […] This is a TWN report on the StarLink scandal. The discovery of GE StarLink corn, which has not been approved for human consumption, in food products in a number of countries, has raised widespread alarm over safety regulations, segregation and labelling. […] When highly respected British scientist Dr Arpad Pusztai took on a publicly-funded research project to study the effects of GM crops on animal nutrition and the environment, little did he know his findings would place him in the midst of a controversy.
