EPL BAS provides specialized food composition and nutritional testing for agricultural biotechnology companies that develop genetically enhanced plant varieties.
The food safety assessment for these products, whether performed by the FDA or the EPA, requires evaluation of the safety of the newly added DNA, its protein products and the overall balance of the food. Guiding this assessment is the concept of "Substantial Equivalence".
Substantial Equivalence (SE) is widely regarded as a sound basis for safeguarding the quality and safety of biotech foods and provides historical context based on centuries of experience with conventional foods.
Evaluation of the Substantial Equivalence of a new food involves analysis of Nutrient Compositional Equivalence. Bioavailability and quantity of important nutrients in the food, such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats and oils are analyzed to ensure that they fall within the normal range of variability for the food. As many foods contain naturally occurring toxins and anti-nutrients, levels of these substances are also tested and compared.
