WHAT ARE GM FOODS? ….Foodstuffs produced from GENETICALLY
MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMO) that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering (transgenic).

Six principal countries grew 99% of the global transgenic crop area.
Four main crops were grown on almost 100% of the total area of transgenic crop production.By Crop: Global area of transgenic crops

In 2006, a total of 252 million acres of transgenic crops were planted in 22 countries by 10.3 million farmers

Commercially grown genetically modified Flavr Savr tomato, which was made more resistant to
rotting by Californian company Calgene. Release the tomatoes into the market in 1994 without any
special labeling. Price: two to five times higher than regular tomatoes. Problems:
Production Competition from a conventionally productbred
A variant of the Flavr Savr was used by Zeneca to produce tomato paste which was sold in Europe during the summer of 1996.
The labeling and pricing were designed as a marketing experiment, which proved, at the time that European consumers would accept genetically engineered foods.

What future hold for GMF? Applications of GMOs are diverse and include:
1. Drugs and vaccines2. Food and food ingredients3. Animal feeds etc.
Examples: Bananas that produce human vaccines against
infectious diseases such as Hepatitis B Shallots that will not make us cry (Mingguan Malaysia,
Ahad 17 Feb 2008)
![Page 20: THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT TOWARDS NUTRITION, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS DR NORHASMAH SULAIMAN DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649ee55503460f94bf432b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What future hold for GMF? The next decade may see exponential increases
in GM product developments as researchers gain increasing access to genomic resources that are applicable to organisms.
Safety testing of these products will also at the same time be necessary to ensure that the perceived benefits will indeed outweigh the perceived and hidden costs of development.
