Abstract: This review shall give policy makers and risk managers the rational basis to widen the view on the risk assessment of genetically modified plants and therefore to include potential impacts associated with synthetic DNA/RNA fragments of genetically modified plants to the human immune system. Such risks are so far excluded form the risk assessment of genetically modified plants carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The EC Commission bases all approvals on the conclusion in the risk assessment of EFSA
