The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reported a positive scientific opinion of Bayer’s herbicide tolerant and insect resistant MON 87751 x MON 87701 x MON 87708 x MON 89788 (Intacta 2 Xtend) genetically modified (GM) soybean. The trait stack confers tolerance to dicamba and glyphosate containing herbicides and resistance against specific lepidopteran pests by producing the Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and Cry1Ac proteins.

The latest review, undertaken by the GMO Panel, has concluded that the four-event stack soybean is as safe as and nutritionally equivalent to the non-GM comparator and the non-GM reference varieties tested.
