From the article "The GMO-consensus campaign points to the Royal Society of Medicine and the Royal Society of London as part of the scientific consensus, but neither organisation has an official policy on GMO safety. "


But there is this,,

The Royal Society of Medicine
7 Conclusions and recommendations
We recognise the valuable potential and current impact of plant biotechnology on the quality of food and its importance in the development of new crops. We support continuation of research on GM plants as valuable in itself and as the only way to assess the true potential of GM plants. However, the Royal Society recognises the concerns expressed with regard to the technology and believes that these should continue to be addressed through collaboration and dialogue between industrialists, public sector scientists, regulatory authorities and non-government organisations. It is important that the public debate about GM food takes account of wider issues than the science alone, but we wish to stress the importance of informing debate with sound science.
