This volume compiles the consensus documents developed by the OECD Working Group for
the Safety of Novel Foods and Feeds from 2015 to 2019. It deals with the composition
of common bean, rice, cowpea and apple, four important crops for agriculture and food
consumption worldwide. The science-based information collated here is intended for
use during the regulatory assessment of food/feed products derived from modern biotechnology,
i.e. issued from transgenic plants. Compositional considerations are provided for
each species, including tables detailing the key nutrients, anti-nutrients, possible
toxicants, allergens and other metabolites contained in the products. This essential
information and solid data can be used in the comparative approach as part of the
novel food/feed safety assessment. It should be of value to crop breeders and applicants
for commercial uses of novel foods and feeds, to regulators and risk assessors in
national authorities, as well as the wider scientific community. More information
can be found at BioTrack Online.
