Expert consultations
Since the mid-1990s, FAO and WHO have organized a series of scientific expert
consultations in relation to the safety and nutritional features of foods derived
from biotechnology in order to provide scientific and technical advice to their
Member States.
The scientific advice derived from these expert consultations can be used
by the Member States of FAO and WHO directly, but also serves as the scientific
foundation for the work of the Codex Alimentarius Commission in their deliberation
on risk analysis principles and safety assessment guidelines for foods derived
from biotechnology.
The joint FAO/WHO expert consultations not only review existing strategies
for the safety and nutritional assessment of foods derived from biotechnology,
taking into account public concerns and experiences accumulated in testing
such foods, but also make recommendations on further research needs and priorities.
