2022年9月22日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息，欧盟食品安全局转基因作物专家组（GMO）评估了转基因玉米MIR162的授权更新申请。
经过评估，GMO小组得出结论，更新申请EFSA-GMO-RX-025中没有证据表明有新的危害、修改后的暴露量以及科学不确定性会改变转基因玉米MIR162的原始风险评估结论。部分原文报道如下：
Following the submission of application EFSA-GMO-RX-025 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Syngenta Crop Protection NV/SA, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment on the data submitted in the context of the renewal of authorisation application for the insect-resistant genetically modified maize MIR162, for food and feed uses, excluding cultivation within the EU. The data received in the context of this renewal application contained post-market environmental monitoring reports, a systematic search and evaluation of literature, updated bioinformatic analyses, and additional documents or studies performed by or on behalf of the applicant. The GMO Panel assessed these data for possible new hazards, modified exposure or new scientific uncertainties identified during the authorisation period and not previously assessed in the context of the original application. The GMO Panel concludes that there is no evidence in renewal application EFSA-GMO-RX-025 for new hazards, modified exposure or scientific uncertainties that would change the conclusions of the original risk assessment on maize MIR162.
