Which descriptor is used to characterize the safety of the products?

• A. Non-Toxic
• B. Non-Tetra-Genic
• C. Carcinogenic
• D. Unknown Safety

Answer: (B)

Safety descriptors in this context focus on genetic modification status. Non-Tetra-Genic signals that the product does not involve four-gene (tetra-genic) modifications, which the framework uses to indicate a basic level of genetic safety. It’s about whether the product has certain genetic characteristics rather than its direct toxic effects. That makes it the best fit for describing safety within this labeling approach.

The other terms describe different concerns. Non-Toxic would address whether the product can cause harm due to toxicity, Carcinogenic flags a cancer risk, and Unknown Safety simply means there isn’t enough information about safety rather than stating a specific genetic safety status.
