Erratum to: Environ Sci Eur (2017) 29:1 DOI 10.1186/s12302-016-0099-0

Upon publication of the original article [1], the authors noticed that the number of the event mentioned in the first sentence of the article was incorrect. Instead of: MON89788, the correct number is: MON87701 and therefore the first sentence of the article should read:

“MON87701 was the first genetically engineered soybean worldwide to express a Bt toxin.”
