Health Canada must re-evaluate the safety of all GM foods based on these results and halt new

approvals until we have long-term testing and transparent regulation. Are Canadians expected to

continue eating GM corn? said Lucy Sharratt, The federal government needs to redesign theentire system that approves GM foods because our regulations are not designed to look for the

types of problems these scientists have found.The safety of GM foods cannot be assumed, it needs to be tested, said Sharratt, We cannot

rely on science from companies to prove safety. We need to turn to the precautionary principle to

keep Canadians safe and this means keeping GM foods off the shelves.

The government of France is already calling for action in the wake of the study. The relevant

ministers in France say that the research confirms that European Union regulations on GM foods

are insufficient in regards to the study of toxicological effects.

The study was conducted by a team led by molecular biologist and endocrinologist Professor

Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen in France and was supported by the independent

research organization CRIIGEN, the Committee of Research and Independent Information on

Genetic Engineering.
