A number of standards have to be complied with regarding the quality and hygiene conditions of food products and feeds to be sent to the European Union countries. In order to meet these standards and to protect the health of the consumers in our country, the state conducts inspections and applies sanctions when necessary. At this point, laboratories have great responsibilities.

Genetically modified organisms are products that have been genetically modified as a result of the studies carried out on them, not in their natural conditions. The issue of GMO is a matter of debate among scientists today. Some argue that it is harmless and others claim it is absolutely harmful. Therefore, upon suspicion, European Union countries had to impose some restrictions. Scientists' concerns are focused on the fact that the nutritional value of GMO products is low, genetic change can create poisoning effects on the products, the original product populations can be destroyed, biodiversity will be reduced and there will be no return. Many of these studies confirm these views of scientists.

People are harmed by consuming the products of animals fed with GMO feeds. On the other hand, the nutritional values ​​of the products obtained from animals fed with GMO feeds are lower than those without GMOs. The body functions of animals fed with GMO feeds have started to deteriorate. These feeds form antibiotic resistant bacteria against diseases. As a result, the healing times of the diseases were negatively affected. Due to all these facts, GMO quantification studies on crops have become increasingly important.

In advanced laboratories, GMO analyzes are carried out for GMO quantification for each gene region. A few standards considered in these studies are:

  • TS EN ISO 24276 Foods - Analysis methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms and their derivatives - Definitions and general rules
  • TS EN ISO 21569 Foodstuffs - Analysis methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms and derivative products - Quality of nucleic acid based methods
