Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), American Medical Association (AMA), European Food Safety Association and a broad range of other scientists agree that GM foods currently on the market are as safe as the non-GM foods.
• But we need our government to regulate to ensure that all foods (GMOs or non-GMOs) on the market are safe to eat.
• The proposed Biosafety law will ensure that modern biotechnology products are tested and deemed fi t for human consumption.
