ACREs generic advice relating to applications to market(not cultivate) genetically modified (GM) soybeans and maize for use as food or feed. ACREconsiders that theGMcrops pose no greater risk to human health or the environment than non-GMvarieties.
Prior to the UKs exit from the EU, applications to market GM crops in the UK were made at EU level and approval applied across the UK. On leaving the EU, the UK continued to recognise existing EU-level approvals. Following the UKs exit from the EU, products are approved for marketing separately in each territory of Great Britain.
