The European Commission has revoked the authorisation for genetically modified maize MON 87403. This decision repeals the previous authorisation granted in 2019. The revocation was requested by the authorisation holder, Bayer, who stated that the maize has never been cultivated in any country where cultivation is permitted and they have no intention of commercialising it in the future. As a result, products containing, consisting of, or produced from MON 87403 can no longer be legally placed on the EU market.
