Genetically modified food - papaya

Final report of the priority action A-917-18

The aim of the priority action "A-917-18 Genetically modified food - papaya" was to check for the presence of genetically modified papayas. Both fresh fruit and papaya products were examined. 50 samples from all over Austria were examined.

  • No sample was objected to.

In some countries around the world, there are approvals for genetically modified papayas that have been made resistant to plant viruses, for example. In the EU, genetically modified papayas are not approved as food. Zero tolerance applies to non-approved genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
