Application A1139 - Food derived from Potato Lines F10, J3, W8, X17 & Y9 (Approval Report)

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) received an Application from SPS International Inc on 8 December 2016. The Applicant requested a variation to Schedule 26 in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to include food from six new genetically modified (GM) potato (Solanum tuberosum) lines, W8, X17, Y9, E56, F10 and J3. As the Applicant did not submit compositional data for line E56, FSANZ was unable to complete the assessment of this line, resulting in E56 being withdrawn by FSANZ from consideration. The FSANZ Board has approved the draft variation to Schedule 26 that includes a permission for food derived from reduced acrylamide potential and reduced browning potato lines F10 and J3 and disease-resistant, reduced acrylamide potential and reduced browning potato lines W8, X17 and Y9.
