Abstract
An increasing number of food products obtained by means of genetic mod ifications are being developed. As a result, national and internationa l regulatory bodies are considering the necessity for additional regul ations to ensure the food safety of this new class of products. This a rticle reviews several of the food safety evaluation approaches that h ave been developed to date, and briefly discusses the research strateg ies that have been used in the risk evaluation of several genetically modified products.
