As a licensee, EcoCerta will add GMO and species testing of agricultural and food products to its environmental testing portfolio.
EcoCerta joins Genetic ID’s global network of GMO testing labs, known as the Global Laboratory Alliance (GLA).
According to Marcelo Rossato, president, EcoCerta will use Genetic ID’s GMO testing technology to detect genetically modified material (GM) in a variety of agricultural and food products.
Mr Rossato said European Union regulations on the import of GM crops require that reliable, standardised detection methods are available in order to enforce the regulations.
Rossato said: “We chose Genetic ID because they are the industry leader in GMO testing technology. Our customers test on both sides of the Atlantic ocean and sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability are critical.”
