Media statement on tomato brown rugose fruit virus and food safety

Media statement on tomato brown rugose fruit virus and food safety Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is aware of reports concerning the detection of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) in tomato crops in South Australia.

Response to studies cited as evidence of adverse effects from GM foods

FSANZ analyses any new information relating to GM foods that have already been assessed by us, to see if we need to revise our previous safety assessments.
