The self-tasking activity on the assessment of allerginicity of GM foods was started in 2005. A Working Group comprising some EFSA panel members and external experts was to established with the aim to present recommendations for the assessment of allergenicity of GM foods in a comprehensive report by mid 2007. However, due to heavy workload of the Panel the completion of the work was delayed, but is currently open for public consultation. The deadline for submissions has been extended until 14 February 2010.
Members of the Working Group are R.C. Aalberse, H.Ch. Andersson, Ph. Eigenmann, R. Einspanier, K. Hoffmann-Sommergruber, G. Kleter, I. Kyspin-Sorensen, M. Lovik, C. Mills, W. Seinen, D. Soeria-Atmadja, I. Van der Meer and J.-M. Wal.
