Genetically Modified Canola

Genetically modified (GM) canola is widely grown especially in Canada, but also in other countries like the USA and Australia. Mainly Roundup Ready™ (event RT73) and SeedLink™ (stacked event MS8/RF3) are planted commercially on large scale. Currently the genetically modified events RT73, MS8/RF3 and T45 (trade name LibertyLink™) are approved for food and feed in the EU.
