New genomic techniques (NGTs) can be used for the targeted modification of the genome, not only of plants but also of microorganisms. Traceability of genetically modified microorganisms obtained with an NGT (NGT microorganisms) is currently a regulatory requirement under the EU GMO legislation. This report highlights the possibilities and challenges to detect NGT microorganisms (NGT-Ms) in food and feed using analytical technologies. The document builds upon the conclusions of the previously published report on the detection of plant products developed by targeted mutagenesis and cisgenesis (ENGL, 2023a) and adds issues specific for the detection of NGT-Ms.
