Abstract
One of the criterions for labelling of genetically modified foods to the No vel Food legislation is the presence of transgenic DNA. Therefor analysis i s mostly based on the detection of the transgenic DNA. No labelling is requ ired for unavoidable residues below a limiting level. Appropriate methods f or the quantification of such residues are therefor necessary. This paper d escribes a competitive PCR method for the quantification of the genetically modified soy beans.
