EFSA Finds GM Soybean MON 94313 × MON 89788 Safe

November 4, 2026

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released a scientific opinion concluding that the genetically modified soybean stack MON 94313 × MON 89788 is safe for its intended uses, including food and feed import and processing. Published in the EFSA Journal, the comprehensive risk assessment evaluated molecular characterization, food and feed safety, and environmental aspects. 

According to the panel's findings, the stacked-event soybean—designed for enhanced agronomic traits—is as safe and nutritious as its conventional counterparts. The evaluation determined that the combination of the genetic modifications does not give rise to safety concerns regarding toxicity, allergenicity, or environmental impact, paving the way for potential authorization within the European Union market.
