2025年5月13日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息，欧盟食品安全局转基因作物专家组（GMO）评估了转基因棉花 MON 88913的授权更新申请。
经过评估，GMO小组得出结论，更新申请GMFF-2023-21234中没有证据表明有新的危害、修改后的暴露量以及科学不确定性会改变转基因棉花 MON 88913的原始风险评估结论。部分原文报道如下：
Following the submission of dossier GMFF-2023-21234 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Bayer CropScience LP, the Panel on genetically modified organisms of the European Food Safety Authority was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment on the data submitted in the context of the renewal of authorisation application for the herbicide-tolerant genetically modified cotton MON 88913, for food and feed uses, excluding cultivation within the European Union. The data received in the context of this renewal application contained post-market environmental monitoring reports, an evaluation of the literature retrieved by a scoping review, a search for additional studies performed by or on behalf of the applicant and updated bioinformatics analyses. The GMO Panel assessed these data for possible new hazards, modified exposure or new scientific uncertainties identified during the authorisation period and not previously assessed in the context of the original application. Under the assumption that the DNA sequence of the event in cotton MON 88913 considered for renewal is identical to the sequence of the originally assessed event, the GMO Panel concludes that there is no evidence in renewal dossier GMFF-2023-21234 for new hazards, modified exposure or scientific uncertainties that would change the conclusions of the original risk assessment on cotton MON 88913.
