Recent compositional studies, in conjunction with animal feeding studies, show soybeans tolerant to glyphosate are equivalent in nutrition, composition and wholesomeness to other soybeans, and are therefore, safe for inclusion in feed and food. The studies also established that CP4 EPSPS, the added protein in glyphosate-tolerant soybeans (GTS), is readily digestible. Finally, the studies found that CP4 EPSPS pose no allergenic concerns.Three peer-reviewed articles on these studies appeared in the March issue of The Journal of Nutrition, the publication of the American Institute of Nutrition.The May 20 Feedstuffs article. 'Plant Biotechnology and The Feed Industry.' addressed plant biotechnology products that soon will be available commercially and incorporated into feed products. In particular, the article addressed the equivalence of these plant biotechnology products to crops currently on the market. In addition, it discussed U.S. regulatory oversight and the general commitment to safety demonstrated by companies developing the newly commercialized products.This discussion will focus on one of these products - glyphosate-tolerant soybeans (GTS) - and summarize the specific objectives. Methods and results of the three studies that were part of a safety assessment program for this new soybean variety.
