(b) Designation and specification of the products
1. Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean.
2. Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean.
3. DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than 1 and 2, with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean, as described in the application, has a reduced expression of the soybean enzyme omega-6 desaturase, which results in a high oleic acid and reduced linoleic acid profile, and expresses an optimised Glycine max-hra gene, which confers tolerance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides.
(c) Labelling
1. For the purposes of the specific labelling requirements laid down in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the ‘name of the organism’ shall be ‘soybean’.
2. For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Articles 13(2)(a) and 25(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the words ‘with increased monounsaturated fat and reduced polyunsaturated fat’ shall appear after the name of the organism on the label or, where appropriate, in the documents accompanying the products.
3. The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in the documents accompanying products containing or consisting of DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2.
(d) Method for detection
— Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of DP-3Ø5423-1 soybean.
