Pathway 12 Human health: Potential incidental ingestion or inhalation of dsxFCRISPRh transgenic material could cause specific allergic or toxicological responses in humans beyond responses to non-transgenic material. The plausibility of this potential harm and its pathway is likely to rest on weight of evidence from literature [141] and analogous situations in programmes employing other species, e.g. SIT, rather than from definitive evidence from specific laboratory studies
