Abstract

During a Joint Society of Toxicologic Pathologists (STP)/International Federation of Societies of Toxicologic Pathologists (IFSTP) International Symposium, held between June 24 and 28, 2001, in Orlando, FL, USA, there was a session entitled as “Genetically Modified Foods-Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment”. The purpose of this session was to present and discuss the current situations in the US, European Union and Japan for the public concerns, safety assessments and regulations on genetically modified (GM) products used as food or food ingredients. Assuming the wide and fast growing of the usage of GM products, it is the duty for us, toxicologic pathologists, to supply reliable data on their safety and possible risks or hazards as a world-wide basis to not only governments or regulatory agencies but also general public of our countries.
