Comprehensive Guide to ISO 21571-2 GMO DNA Extraction from Processed Foods Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

ISO 21571-2 is a laboratory test standard for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in processed foods. The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which provides guidelines and specifications for testing GMOs.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 21571-2 includes:

  • European Unions Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on genetically modified food and feed

  • European Commissions Guidance Document on the Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Foods

  • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations for GMOs in imported foods

    • International and National Standards

    ISO 21571-2 is an international standard, but national standards may apply depending on the country. For example:

  • In the European Union, the standard is harmonized with EU regulations

  • In the United States, the standard is aligned with USDA regulations

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The ISO is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that develops and publishes international standards. Other organizations involved in standard development include:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve through a continuous process of review, revision, and updating. This includes feedback from stakeholders, experts, and users.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    ISO 21571-2 is part of the ISO 21571 series, which covers GMO testing. The standard has the following scope:

  • Detection of genetically modified organisms in processed foods

  • Identification of GMOs using DNA extraction and analysis

    • Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

    Compliance with ISO 21571-2 is required by various industries, including:

  • Food processing and manufacturing

  • Biotechnology and pharmaceutical

  • Agricultural and environmental testing
