Is Genetically Modified Food Unnatural?
Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, 2015This paper argues for the following four claims: (a) the terms “natural” and “unnatural” are ambiguous. (b) Genetically modified food is unnatural in some senses of the term “unnatural”. (c) Natural food should be favored over unnatural food in some senses of the terms “natural” and “unnatural”.

Genetically modified probiotics in foods
Trends in Biotechnology, 2003Probiotics have many potential therapeutic uses, but have not been universally accepted because of a lack of understanding of their action. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been modified by traditional and genetic engineering methods to produce new varieties.

Safety evaluation of genetically modified foods [PDF]
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2000 The concept of substantial equivalence has been accepted as the cornerstone of the health hazard assessment of genetically modified (GM) foods (OECD 1993). Substantial equivalence is the most practical approach to address the safety of foods or food components derived from GM crops and is based on comparison of the phenotypic and compositional ...

Genetically Modified Foods In The Spotlight
Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 2015U.S. regulators gave the green light this year to a few new genetically modified foods, including apples engineered to resist browning and an Atlantic salmon that is engineered to grow faster than nonmodified salmon. Neither product will be required to carry a label indicating that it contains genetically modified ingredients.

The patenting of genetically modified foods
Trends in Food Science & Technology, 1998Abstract Intellectual property protection, including patents, is a critical factor underpinning investment and progress in the development of genetically modified foods. The GATT agreement made suggestions for the harmonization of patent laws and also made provisions for the avoidance of discrimination based on place of invention.

Detection of genetically modified organisms in foods
Trends in Biotechnology, 2002Legislation enacted worldwide to regulate the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in crops, foods and ingredients, necessitated the development of reliable and sensitive methods for GMO detection. In this article, protein- and DNA-based methods employing western blots, enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, lateral flow strips, Southern blots,
