Statement on studies of potatoes genetically modified to produce Galanthus nivalis lectin (Feb 2000)

The COT was asked to advise the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) on the toxicological aspects of studies carried out at the Rowett Research Institute.

The studies involved the feeding of rats with various potato-containing diets.

The conclusions of the COT, also those of the ACNFP, are available through the ACNFP web site.
