Webinar: GMO maize: From current market requirements to analytical solutions for new events
Analytical challenges posed by GM maize: growing, approvals and innovative detection methods
The dynamic development and market introduction of new genetically modified maize events poses new challenges for the food and feed industry as well as for analytical laboratories. In our webinar, we will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the current GMO cultivation situation with a focus on GM maize and current EU authorisations. Special attention will be given to the introduction of GM maize events that cannot be detected by conventional screening methods.
We will give you an insight into the design of an efficient and comprehensive analysis strategy for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that is specifically tailored to the requirements of global retail chains. In addition, we present to innovative screening methods that will help you to quickly and accurately exclude new GMOs from your products.
The webinar will also focus on genetically modified maize from China. The cultivation of these events, which are currently not authorised in the EU, poses particular challenges for manufacturers of food and animal feed, as these GMOs are subject to zero tolerance in the EU. We will show you how you can reliably exclude the most important of these Chinese genetically modified maize varieties.
