Individual charts

Flowchart VII Three established schemes for testing genetically engineered foods for allergens, toxins, and alterations in nutritional quality. Summarised in this chart an details in the three following charts: In vitro analytical methods for testing known food allergens, known toxins, and nutritional quality.

Flowchart VIIIA Common food allergens

Flowchart VIIIB Common toxins

Flowchart IX       Nutritional quality

Flowchart XA      Stringent in vivo testing to detect possible unanticipated allergens and toxins

Flowchart XB     Stringent n vivo testing to detect possible unanticipated allergens and toxins

Flowchart XC      Safety assessment emphasizing molecular characterization of the genetically engineered organism

Flowchart XI       Safety assessment employing limited in vivo testing of the genetically engineered organism.

Flowchart XII      Safety assessment employing primarily in vitro analysis.
