Erio Barale-Thomas is a toxicologist. He is president of the Administrative Council of the Société Française de Pathologie Toxicologique (SFPT, French Society of Toxicological Pathology). Barale-Thomas describes the SFPT as "a non governmental/non profit organization formed by veterinarians, physicians, pharmacists and biologists specialized in veterinary and toxicologic pathology".[1]

It was as spokesperson for this nonprofit organisation that he wrote a letter to the editor of the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, condemning "weaknesses" in the paper of Prof G. E. Séralini (2012), published in September 2012 in the same journal. Séralini's study found severe organ damage, increased tumours and premature mortality in rats fed the commercialised genetically modified (GM) maize NK603 (developed by Monsanto) and its associated herbicide Roundup.[2]
