Advice on the import and processing of GM soybean MON 94115

The present application (MA 250009_001; GMFF-2025-35442/AP201) concerns the authorisation for import and processing for use in food and feed of genetically modified (GM) soybean MON 94115;

MON 94115 carries the H_N90 PPO gene, which encodes the PPO protein that confers tolerance to PPO-inhibiting herbicides;

The molecular characterisation of MON 94115 meets the criteria of COGEM;

In the Netherlands, feral soybean populations do not occur;

Hybridisation of soybean with other species is impossible in the Netherlands;

There are no indications that the introduced trait allow GM soybean MON 94115 to survive in the Dutch environment;

COGEM is of the opinion that import and processing of GM soybean MON 94115 poses a negligible risk to the environment in the Netherlands;

COGEM abstains from giving advice on the potential risks of incidental consumption since a food/feed assessment is carried out by other organisations.
