European Food Safety Authority accepts use of contaminated chow in GMO animal testing experiments

Told you guys that this would coming after the Invader flood, its like a big Trojan horse so they can just ignore everyone in Germany.

EFSA accepts use of contaminated chow in GMO animal testing experiments
=============================

If you are one of the small number of people who believes in the integrity and competence of EFSA, think again. This latest episode caps the lot, and shows EFSA more clearly than ever before as arrogant, complacent and incompetent. The organization is also clearly corrupt, and no wonder Barbara Peterson and Anthony Samsel have a go at it in the article reproduced below. In the EFSA review of the paper by Mesnage et al, and the note by Rosemary Mason about Samsel's findings re contaminated Purina chow, that august body simply burbles on about "insufficient data for a full scientific review" while completely missing the point that if you are doing a toxicity experiment, you must have completely uncontaminated control group chow if you are to pick up anything meaningful about the effects of experimental group chow. Your average GCSE pupil would appreciate that-- but it is apparently beyond the comprehension of the "experts" at EFSA. Yet again, EFSA shows that it is completely unfit for purpose. The sooner we can get rid of them the better........

EFSA Says Glyphosate Contaminated Lab Chow Okay!

On October 6, 2015, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a paper on request from the European Commission titled “Review of results published by Mesnage et al. (2015) in PLoS ONE and the laboratory findings communicated by Dr. Samsel to Farm Wars,” which responded to the findings of Dr. Anthony Samsel that laboratory diets used exclusively by scientists around the world for toxicology testing are contaminated by Glyphosate. And the EFSA’s results are? Don’t worry, be happy, nothing to see here, we’ve determined that it’s okay, business as usual.

Since testing for Glyphosate contamination in laboratory chow used for toxicological testing purposes is not required, the following request was made, and summarily dismissed by the EFSA:

It is time for the GLP and OECD protocols to be updated to include routine testing for Glyphosate contamination, and all testing done previously with the contaminated feed re-evaluated in light of this new information.
