  1. (1)

    Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize;

  2. (2)

    feed containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize;

  3. (3)

    products other than food and feed containing or consisting of SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR6Ø4-5 and MON-ØØØ21-9 events and expresses the Cry1Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, a PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides, the Cry3A protein which provides protection against certain coleopteran pests and the mEPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicide. A pmi gene, which allows transformed maize cells to utilize mannose as a sole carbon source, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process for SYN-IR6Ø4-5 event.
