Resumo: | This paper provides an overview of the effects of transgenic plants, also known as Genetically Modified Organisms, and food safety. Modern biotechnologies are powerfull tools in reprogramming life. However, a major problem in the risk assessment of the organisms produced by biotechnology is that the outcome of transformations can not be fully foreseen. Potential risks to human health include unpredicted side-effects, allergy, toxicity and intolerance. The main effects on the environment include the gene lateral transfer, genetic pollution, and damage to non-target species. The substantial equivalence principle should be abandoned infavor of more scientific criteria. With the Biosafety Protocol approved January 2000, the precautionary principle was reaffirmed and the labeling became compulsory. The public perception reached a stage where restrictions on the consumption of genetically modified foods are imposed, compelling enterprises and scientists to a sciencebased approach for the risk assessment analysis. |

As biotecnologias modernas são ferramentas de grande potencial de reprogramação dos seres vivos. Contudo, o maior problema na análise de risco destes organismos gerados pela biotecnologia é que seus efeitos não podem ser previstos em sua totalidade. Os riscos à saúde humana incluem aqueles inesperados, alergias, toxicidade e intolerância. No ambiente, as conseqüências são a transferência lateral de genes, a poluição genética e os efeitos prejudiciais a organismos não-alvo. O princípio da equivalência substancial, até agora utilizado, deveria ser abandonado em favor de um cientificamente embasado. Com a aprovação em janeiro de 2002 do Protocolo Internacional de Biossegurança, o princípio da precaução foi estabelecido como básico e a rotulagem tornou-se obrigatória. A percepção pública obriga empresas e cientistas a um maior uso da ciência na análise de risco antes do consumo destes alimentos.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2003-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9122Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 16 No. 1 (2003): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 16 Núm. 1 (2003): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 16 n. 1 (2003): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9122/6506Copyright (c) 2023 Rubens Onofre NODARI, Miguel Pedro GUERRAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOnofre NODARI, Rubens GUERRA, Miguel Pedro 2024-04-08T14:11:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9122Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2024-04-08T14:11:04Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
