| Products |
(1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON-ØØØ21-9 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2; (2) feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON-ØØØ21-9 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2; (3) products containing or consisting of genetically modified maize MON-ØØØ21-9 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation |
| Designation | Genetically modified maize MON-ØØØ21-9 expresses the epsps gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides and genetically modified maize ACS-ZMØØ3-2 expresses the pat gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides. |
| Labelling |
(1) For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the name of the organism shall be ‘maize’.
