On 11 June a briefing session was held updating Board members on the
Agency's work relating to GM foods and other technical issues - such as food
irradiation, cloning and nanotechnologies - in advance of a horizon scanning
event planned for later in the year.
The briefing reported on what new technology has to offer in terms of its
risks and benefits, whether the FSA is doing any work in relation to this
and how the FSA might engage with the public. It also provides an overview
of external activity.
In line with the Agency's commitment to openness this session was recorded,
including questions from Board members and the answers given, and is now
made available here as video-on-demand. Accompanying presentation slides can
also be viewed.

The above topics may be discussed at the Board's next Open Meeting in
Cardiff. Coverage of these meetings, as with all FSA Open Board meetings,
can be viewed in full here.
