Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
• Inheritance studies conducted indicated that Mendelian segregation exists. • New expression proteins are expressed in low levels. • It is compositionally equivalent to its non-transgenic counterpart. • No evidence of similarity or homology was found with known toxic proteins. • There is no evidence of expression of known allergenic substances for the proteins expressed in the event. It is concluded that the event is substantially equivalent to its conventional counterpart, therefore, it is as safe and no less nutritious than conventional commercial varieties. |

Country introduction: In Argentina, the food and feed risk assessment process of transformation events, as the result of modern biotechnology, is carried out by the National Service for Agrifood Health and Quality (Senasa). The General Office of Biotechnology, is the area responsible for carrying out this task. It has an specific professional team and the advise of a Technical Advisory Committee composed of experts from several scientific disciplines representing different sectors involved in the production, industrialization, consumption, research and development of genetically modified organisms.

Stacked events: Stacked events with all single events approved, are assessed as a new event, but with much less requirements, always on a case-by-case basis.

Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
The data presented in the majority request for DBN-09004-6 soybean complies with current standards and legislation that aim to guarantee the biosafety of the environment, agriculture, human and animal health, and allows us to conclude that DBN-09004-6 soybean is substantially equivalent conventional soy, its consumption being safe for human and animal health. Regarding the environment, genetically modified subcombinations do not potentially cause significant degradation of the environment, maintaining an identical relationship with the biota to conventional soy. |

Country introduction: Brazil had the first biosafety law approved in 1995. After the identification of the need to improve the biosafety system of Brazilian genetically modified organisms, a new law was published. The Law 11.105 / 05 establishes a technical committee dedicated to the analysis of the safety aspects of genetically modified organisms and a council of ministers that is dedicated to the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of the commercial release of genetically modified organisms. In this context, Brazil already has several commercial products that involve genetically modified organisms (plants, human and veterinary vaccines, microorganisms for fuel production) and products derived from new genetic modification techniques.
