Is Bt cotton safe for humans and animals?
Bt cotton has a history of safe use, having been in the market for over two decades. The crop’s safety evaluation will be done according to international scientific standards. These standards are accepted by credible bodies such as World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Rigorous safety assessments were conducted by competent national biosafety authorities before Bt cotton was commercialized.
