The European Commission has authorised the placing on the market of foods, feed and other products (except cultivation) containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean DBN-09004-6. The authorisation is valid for 10 years from the date of notification. The GMO expresses cp4 epsps and pat genes conferring tolerance to glyphosate and glufosinate-ammonium herbicides. EFSA concluded that the soybean is as safe as conventional varieties for human and animal health and the environment, with no nutritional concerns. Specific labelling is required indicating it is 'not for cultivation' on non-food products, and an event-specific real-time PCR detection method is provided. The authorisation holder is Beijing DaBeiNong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., represented in the EU by Perseus BV in Belgium.
