Here is the uncomfortable fact at the centre of GM regulation: you cannot test a bottle of refined maize oil to find out whether the rules apply to it. Processing destroys the DNA, but not the legal obligation. That is why GM compliance is a documentation discipline — and why importers who treat it as a lab problem keep getting consignments held at the border with paperwork they cannot produce.
Three Instruments, One System
GM products are regulated by destination, by threshold and case by case. Unprocessed commodities are governed consignment by consignment, with food, feed and planting destinations strictly separated. Processed food and feed answer to a one per cent threshold measured per individual ingredient — with a second limb that closes the dilution loophole. And no GM food is ever approved in general: each one is assessed individually, against its conventional counterpart.
The Verified Regulatory Basis
This pack normalizes the complete GSO regulatory trio — GSO 2141:2011 (unprocessed agricultural products), GSO 2142:2011 (processed food and feed) and GSO 2143:2011 (risk assessment and traceability) — on the normative basis of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and Codex biotechnology texts. Thresholds, market-entry conditions, nutritional equivalence, dossier content and the consignment register are all set out clause by clause.
