- While theoretical discussions have covered a broad range of aspects, the three main issues debated are the potentials to provoke allergic reaction...
- Environmental risk assessments cover both the GMO concerned and the potential receiving environment. The assessment process includes evaluation of...
- Issues of concern include: the capability of the GMO to escape and potentially introduce the engineered genes into wild populations; the persistenc...
- Different GM organisms include different genes inserted in different ways. This means that individual GM foods and their safety should be assessed...
