Nat Graham:When most people think about genetic modification, they assume that the product has been engineered to produce something new, but in the case of GM potatoes it’s actually the opposite. In this case, the plant has been engineered to actually make less of something that it is already producing. Using a technology called RNAi, scientists ar...
Nat Graham:The only GM potato you can currently purchase is known as the White Russet potato, and it has been engineered by potato pioneer, J.R. Simplot Company, to have two new traits. The first reduces browning and bruising that can occur when the potato is being packaged, stored and transported, or even cut in your kitchen. While the browning is...
Nat Graham: The only GM potato that is available to consumers and restaurants is the White Russet, and it is a very new product. As a result, only a very small amount of acreage has been devoted to it so far. The company worked with farmers to grow approximately 6,000 acres of the potato to be sold in 2017. By comparison, there were over 955,000 ac...
Nat Graham:The choice of which product to grow is completely up to individual farmers, so I can’t speak for them. I can say, though, that after talking to plenty of farmers myself, they are interested in selling more usable potatoes instead of those that are bruised during harvest and storage. They also want to spray less pesticide when possible to...
Nat Graham: The process of making any genetically engineered plant is generally pretty similar. A DNA sequence is identified that is thought will improve the plant quality. That DNA sequence is then inserted into the plant using a modified version of a naturally-occurring bacterium called Agrobacterium. The plant is then grown in a lab and tested t...
Nat Graham:We eat quite a few potatoes in my house, most are purchased fresh from the grocery and cooked at home. I’ve been known to seek out a fast-food French fry from time to time though! *The J. R. Simplot Company reviewed this post for accuracy.

May 2, 2022 · finding. False. There is no validated evidence that foods made from GMOs are less healthy than non-GMO foods. No evidence has validated that eating food with GMO ingredients is harmful.
Sep 14, 2022 · Potatoes are exposed to a number of stressors during their life, which reduce their yields and worsen the nutritional quality of tubers. Because potatoes are an important commodity in the food and feed industry, there is growing pressure to adopt genetically modified plants that are tolerant to adverse conditions.
Sep 1, 2016 · Since then, several transgenic crops have received FDA approvals, including “Canola” with modified oil composition, cotton and soybeans resistant to herbicides, etc. GM foods that are available in the market include potatoes, eggplants, strawberries, carrots, and many more are in pipeline [10]. 4.
