Greenpeace charged that the Bt gene in plants has been altered from its natural state to a truncated form, closer to its active state, and suggested this would make the Bt protein active in the gut of insects not normally susceptible. The EPA found no evidence of such activity when they performed extensive safety testing on the transgene product. Greenpeace stated that the high dose/refugia combination is insufficient to ensure the prevention of Bt resistant pests. The EPA is not required to ensure prevention of resistant pests, moreover it is an impossible standard. The EPA developed a multi-step pest resistance management plan to prevent "unreasonable adverse effects" which includes more precautions than just the high dose/refugia requirement.
