Erio Barale-Thomas
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.[2]
Séralini's study had 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.[3]
