Genetically modified foods and food products derived from genetically engineered organisms are among a number of biotechnological developments intended to improve shelf life, nutritional content, flavor, color, and texture, as well as agronomic and processing characteristics. Although in popular parlance the term genetically modified often is used interchangeably with genetically engineered, in this report genetic modification refers to a range of methods used to alter the genetic composition of a plant or animal, including traditional hybridization and breeding. Genetic engineering is one type of genetic modification that involves the intention to introduce a targeted change in a plant, animal or microbial gene sequence to effect a specific result | Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods Approaches to Assessing Unintended Health Effects http www.nap.edu catalog 10977.html SAFETY OF genetically ENGINEERED foods APPROACHES TO ASSESSING UNINTENDED HEALTH EFFECTS Committee on Identifying and Assessing Unintended Effects of Genetically Engineered Foods on Human Health Board on Life Sciences Food and Nutrition Board Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE AND NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS Washington D.C. www.nap.edu Copyright National Academy of Sciences.
