SU Canola is not authorised for placing on the market in the European Union. Cibus\u2019 subsequent statements that the SU Canola varieties currently on the market in North America are \u201cnot gene-edited<\/a>\u201d have caused some uncertainty about their GMO status, amplified by the European seed industry association\u2019s adoption of that narrative.<\/p>\n\n
