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 کاملgenetically modified foods and social concerns
biotechnology is providing us with a wide range of options for how we can use agricultural and commercial forestry lands. the cultivation of genetically modified (gm) crops on millions of hectares of lands and their injection into our food chain is a huge global genetic experiment involving all living beings. considering the fast pace of new advances in production of genetically modified crops,...
متن کاملEthics and Genetically Modified Foods
Much of the food consumed in the United States is genetically modified (GM), i.e. derived from microorganisms, plants, or animals that have been manipulated at the molecular level to provide them with traits that farmers or consumers desire. These foods often are produced using techniques in which " foreign " genes are inserted into the microorganisms, plants, or animals. Foreign genes are thos...
متن کاملLabeling of Genetically Modified Foods
Whether or not to require labeling of food produced from crops that are genetically modified (GM) using recombinant DNA technology is a key issue in the ongoing debate over the risks and benefits of using biotechnology in agriculture. The U.S. government regulates GM food technologies, but once GM crops are approved they are considered to be ‘substantially equivalent’ to their conventional coun...
