Comparing the safety and nutritional differences between BT11 maize, a genetically modified maize strain, and conventional maize, any new or altered expression traits and changes in composition and nutrient content or value relative to conventional maize were investigated. At the end of the safety assessments, the BT11 maize strain was found to be as safe as conventional maize when considering the nutritional impact of any changes in nutrient content or value. BT11 maize strain is safe for humans, animals, non-target organisms and is just as nutritious as ordinary maize. It is also safer than chemical pesticides. It is also very effective in controlling Asian corn worms.
Biosafety clearances have been granted for all progeny derived from crossbreeding BT11 maize strain for direct use as feed or any conventionally grown maize strain containing approved biotechnology events for processing and propagation.
BT11 corn strain was approved in 2004 in European Union countries. In our country, this genetically modified corn type, which constitutes a dangerous example for biotechnology products, is allowed to be imported as animal feed.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, BT11 corn type determination and quantity analysis services are also available.
