A Review of the Food and Feed Safety of the Cry2Ab Protein

This document provides a comprehensive review of information and data relevant to the assessment of the protein Cry2Ab for food and feed safety. All sources of information cited in this document are publicly available and include dossiers presented to regulatory authorities, decision summaries prepared by regulatory authorities, peer reviewed literature, and product summaries prepared by product developers. These documents reflect a common approach to safety assessment based on comparison of the genetically engineered (GE) plant to the non-GE plant and the safety of the non-GE plant as an accepted level of safety (OECD, 1986; NRC, 1989; CBD, 2000; Codex, 2003a, 2003b; EFSA, 2006, 2011).
