2.  are foods derived from genetically modified
organisms (GMOs)
 changes introduced into their DNA by genetic
engineering techniques
 inserted genes can come from species within
the same kingdom (plant to plant) or
between kingdoms (bacteria to plant)

3.  Techniques:
 include selective breeding;
 plant breeding,
 and animal breeding,
 resistance to certain pests, diseases or
environmental conditions, or the production of a
certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent.

4.  First commercial GMF - Flavr Savr delayed
ripening tomato(CGN-89564-2)
 By: Calgene company
 production ceased in 1997

6.  Slow ripening
 Prevent from softening
 Retain colour and flavor
 Resist to rotting (added antisense gene)

9.  Plums genetically engineered for resistance
to plum pox
 Transgenic carrots have been used to
produce the drug Taliglucerase alfa which is
used to treat Gaucher's disease
 Roundup Ready soybean
 Six-pack rainbow fish
 papaya has been genetically modified to
resist the ringspot virus

11.  Recorded death from GMF:
genetically modified version of the food
supplement L-tryptophan creating a
debilitating ailment known as Eosinophilia
myalgia syndrome (EMS)
 POTATOES - genetically-modified potatoes
expressing cod genes were allergenic.
 PEAS - it was discovered that they caused
allergic lung damage

12.  Increase risk of cancer
 Birth defects
 Gene mixing- give supervirus
 Increased food allergies
 Shorter life span
 Interior toxins
 Lowered nutrition
