## TL;DR

The European Food Safety Authority reviewed a report on a genetically modified oilseed rape and found that earlier safety assumptions still hold.

## Contribution

The study confirms the continued validity of pre-market risk assessment assumptions for genetically modified oilseed rape 73496.

## Key findings

- EFSA found that assumptions for human and animal dietary exposure remain valid.
- The methodology and information provided were sufficient to support the conclusion.
- No new consumption data was provided by the authorisation holder.

## Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission (EC), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) analysed the 2024 post‐market monitoring (PMM) report of genetically modified oilseed rape (OSR) 73496 and the additional information provided during the assessment. EFSA concluded that the assumptions for consumption and for the intended uses considered during the pre‐market risk assessment (human and animal dietary exposure) remain valid. The authorisation holder did not provide consumption data for humans and animals of OSR 73496 and of products derived from OSR 73496 as requested in the authorisation. However, EFSA concluded that the methodology used and the information provided is sufficient to conclude that the conditions considered during the pre‐market risk assessment are still applicable.
