NABC Report 25: Biotechnology and North American Specialty Crops: Linking Research, Regulation, and Stakeholders
Author
McAllister, Patricia
Abstract

Canada’s regulations are product-based, not process-based. We have authority within the regulations for departments to approve products derived from biotechnology after the completion of the required safety reviews, and—once authorized—products of biotechnology are not treated differently from other foods, feeds or crops.
