Martina Newell-McGloughlin

Martina Newell-McGloughlin is scientist at University of California, Davis. She was one of four "Task Force Experts" convened by the industry lobby group, the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) to run ILSI's task force on designing EU safety assessments of genetically modified foods. The task force's work led to the production of a document called "Nutritional and Safety Assessments of Foods and Feeds Nutritionally Improved through Biotechnology". The document was then cited in an official Guidance by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulators who were designing the safety assessment.

ILSI states,

The value of the document was confirmed when the European Food Standards Authority (EFSA) referenced it in its Guidance Document of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms for the Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Plants and Derived Food and Feed and when Japan and Australia cited it in their country comments to Codex.

Newell-McGloughlin's fellow task force members were

• Bruce Chassy, University of Ilinois
• Gijs Kleter, Wageningen University
• Richard Phipps, University of Reading
