Safety assessment of genetically modified foods.
The development of novel foods produced through agricultural biotechnology is a complex three-stage process: gene discovery, line selection, and product advancement to commercialization. The safety of genetically modified foods is an integral part of the overall developmental process throughout all of the stages. In the discovery stage, the safety of the gene, its source, and the gene products ...
متن کاملSafety Assessment of Genetically Modified (GM) Foods
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any living organism that has been manipulated at the level of its genome in a way that would not happen in nature. In theory, the DNA of any living organism can be manipulated, though most experience has been obtained through the genetic engineering of microorganisms (bacteria and viruses) and plants. However, a number of GM fish and GM animals have been...

متن کاملReasons for Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods
Based on the scientific uncertainty surrounding both the molecular characterization of genetically engineered (GE) crops as well as the detection of potential allergenicity, there is more than enough uncertainty to decide to require labeling of foods produced via GE as a risk management measure as a way to identify unintended health effects that may occur post approval. If foods are not labeled...
متن کاملSafety of Genetically Engineered Food
What is genetically engineered food? Genetically engineered (GE) food is produced from plants, animals, and microbes that have had their genetic code modified by the selective introduction of specific DNA segments through the use of gene splicing. This process allows the organism to acquire a desirable trait such as pest protection, herbicide resistance, or improved nutritional qualities. Foods...
