Bruce Chassy
Prof Bruce Chassy is a pro-GM scientist based at the University of Illinois. With David Tribe, he runs the pro-GM website, Academics Review.
Chassy was lead author of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) publications "Nutritional and Safety Assessments of Foods and Feeds Nutritionally Improved through Biotechnology” (2004) and "Nutritional and Safety Assessments of Foods and Feeds Nutritionally Improved through Biotechnology: Case Studies” (2008).[1]
These two papers were prepared by task forces of the ILSI International Food Biotechnology Committee. A report by German NGO TestBiotech examines how the 2004 ILSI paper designed the industry-friendly risk assessment process for GM foods, which was later adopted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).[2]
Other contributors to/authors of the 2004 ILSI paper and members of the ILSI task force that generated it are employees of the major GM/agrochemical companies. For example:[3]
- Kevin Glenn - contributor and ILSI task force member - Monsanto
- Barbara Henry - contributor - Bayer CropScience
