Arpad Pusztai stressed the need for a science-based protocol that assesses the safety or otherwise of GM foods. In particular, he described science that should have been done before GM crops and foods were commercialised. […] Vyvyan Howard examined how the regulatory process addresses pervasive technologies and the use of risk assessment therein. […] Extending from Arpad Pusztai’s talk, Stanley Ewen discusses the effect of GM potatoes on rat guts.
