Safety assessment process for novel foods and agricultural products of biotechnology, 1999: p. 1 (Novel crops, including those developed using genetic engineering, are produced in laboratories, and studied in growth chambers or greenhouses under conditions of environmental isolation ... The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates the confined field trial evaluation of all novel crops. Conditions prescribed by the CFIA are designed to minimize the possibility of any environmental impact.)
