Abstract
On the final afternoon of the Workshop, Assessment of the Allergenic Potential of Genetically Modified Foods, speakers and participants met in breakout groups to discuss specific questions in the areas of 1) Use of Human Clinical Data; 2) Animal Models to Assess Food Allergy; 3) Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect; 4) Sensitive Populations; 5) Dose Response Assessment; and 6) Post-Market Surveillance. Each group addressed general questions regarding allergenicity of genetically modified foods and specific questions for each subject area. This paper presents a brief summary of the discussions of each of the six breakout groups regarding our current state of knowledge and what information is needed to advance the field.
