Oils derived from two GM cottonseed lines
The Committee on Novel Foods and Processes has considered these applications under Articles 3(4) and 5 of the Novel Food Regulation, (EC) 258/97, on the substantial equivalence of oil derived from two distinct genetically modified cotton lines, Insect Protected line 531 and Roundup Ready line 1445.
The Committee agreed that processed oils derived from these lines were equivalent, in composition, to oils from conventional cottonseed varieties. The scientific opinions of the ACNFP on these two oils are attached.
