In this review, which focuses exclusively on food/feed safety aspects of GM lines, we first summarize the regu-latory and risk perception context for GM food marketing in the EU. Many European citizens remain unconvinced by the safety of GM food despite the fact that a thorough, lengthy, and costly evaluation of GMOs is imposed before marketing. This context has prompted new studies by public research laboratories using alternative eval-uation techniques, namely large scale profiling of GM varieties and long-term animal feeding studies, whose conclusions are discussed here.
