Animal food allergens insects

Long before Bt crops were developed, Bt toxins in sprayable formulations were used to control insects. This fact allowed the EPA and FDA to consider twenty years of human exposure in assessing human safety before agreeing to register Bt corn for commercial use. In addition to these data, numerous toxicity and allergenicity tests were conducted on many different kinds of naturally occurring Bt toxins. Based on these tests and the history of Bt use on food crops, it was concluded that Bt corn is as safe as its conventional counterpart and therefore would not adversely effect human and animal health or the environment (Opinion on..., EFSA 2004). [Pg.72]
