After Rudimas´ laugher (undersecretary of the department of agriculture) on the health risks of Bt eggplant Proceso Alcala, secretary of the department of agriculture, said Bt eggplant could not be sold in Philippine markets unless it was proven that it would not pose harm to the health of consumers. However, he was allowing the field testing to continue. The tests also do not validly measure the long-term effects of Bt eggplant. Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini from the Caen University pointed out, the recommendation of the Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds Company Ltd (Mahyco), that consumption of Bt bringal be limited to 50-100g for a person per day for five days “for a safe dose level” puts to doubt the safety of Bt eggplant as food.
