Genetically modified sugar beet KWS20\u20101 was developed to confer tolerance to glyphosate\u2010, dicamba\u2010 and glufosinate\u2010ammonium\u2010based herbicides. These properties were achieved by introducing the cp4 epsps, dmo and pat expression cassettes. The molecular characterisation data and bioinformatic analyses do not identify issues requiring further safety assessment. None of the identified differences in the agronomic\/phenotypic and compositional characteristics tested between sugar beet KWS20\u20101 and its conventional counterpart need further assessment, except for pectin in roots, which underwent additional evaluation and was found not to raise any safety or nutritional concerns. The GMO Panel does not identify safety concerns regarding the potential toxicity and allergenicity of the CP4 EPSPS, DMO and PAT proteins as expressed in sugar beet KWS20\u20101, and finds no evidence that the genetic modification would change the overall safety of sugar beet KWS20\u20101 as food and feed. In the context of this application, the consumption of food and feed from sugar beet KWS20\u20101 does not represent a nutritional concern in humans and animals. The GMO Panel concludes that sugar beet KWS20\u20101 is as safe as the conventional counterpart and non\u2010GM sugar beet reference varieties tested, and no post\u2010market monitoring of food\/feed is considered necessary. The scope of the application does not include cultivation and import of viable materials in the EU and the products would be expected to only contain residual amounts of DNA and protein. The environmental risk assessment was limited to the possible plant\u2010to\u2010bacteria horizontal gene transfer and the evaluation of potential interactions of KWS20\u20101 sugar beet products with biogeochemical cycles, and neither of them indicates a safety concern. The GMO Panel concludes that the sugar beet KWS20\u20101 is as safe as its conventional counterpart and the tested non\u2010GM reference sugar beet varieties with respect to potential effects on human and animal health and the environment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
