Technology and Product Safety

Biotechnology and crop protection products are some of the most studied products in the world. As consumers ourselves, Monsanto employees are committed to developing products that contribute to safe and nutritious food choices for all consumers—including our own families and friends. We place the highest priority on the safety of our products, conducting comprehensive product testing and implementing quality control and stewardship programs to support this commitment to safety. Hundreds of scientists at regulatory agencies around the world have confirmed the safety of our products.  

A critical step in ensuring the safety of our products is transparency. We publish standard product safety summaries, links to submissions made to regulatory agencies, and a collection of assessments from those agencies and third parties. Since the year 2000, we’ve also authored more than 2,000 scientific publications on the safety and benefits of our products. We strongly encourage consumers to perform their own research and consult a variety of sources to reach conclusions.
