Quantitative
For respectively approved GMO events, there is the quantitative question of whether the product lies above the defined threshold values or mandatory labelling values.
In Europe, a value of 0.9% applies to the GMO event in the respective plant matrix. Below that value, foodstuffs with technically unavoidable and coincidental contaminations of the GMO events do not need to be declared (EC 2829/2003 und EC2830/EC). The quantification occurs via the respective quantification of a GMO specific and plant matrix specific gene based on a respectively different calibration curve and the conversion to GMO plant /matrix DNA number of copies. This dimensionless unit multiplied by 100 yields the percentage value. The calibration curve is obtained via the dilution of a DNA standard and, on the basis of a defined GMO material, can also be specified precisely with an experimental correction factor.

General Information:
The world wide production of genetically modified crops (e.g. soya and corn) has steadily increased since the beginning of the 90’s. Since the 1st of September 1998 all food products which are containing genetically modified organisms (GMO) must be labeled. As stated by the Council of Ministers of the European Union (EU), regulation for the labeling of Novel Food: Decision Nr. 1139/98/EC. Furthermore since April 2004 the EU directive 1829/2003 came into force and determines the labeling threshold value at 0,9 % GMO for food and feed. In accordance with § 64 of the LfGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch), the German equivalent of the FDA, R-Biopharm in cooperation with our partner CONGEN offers the solution in accordance with the German official register of investigative protocols presented in the LFGB for a quick and efficient DNA detection of GMOs in various materials. All the way through, from the individual ingredients to the end product.
