Q: Does your report set the standards required for clearance of all future GM food crops even though this is for a specific case?
A: Absolutely, for food crops. [...] We should have a different set of standards for food crops. I am persuaded by the argument that many doctors, including the DG of ICMR, feel standards should be stricter than for drugs because food is something you consume every day, not just when you are sick.
