Genetically-engineered foods contain substances that have never been a part of the human food supply. They are not subjected to rigorous pre-market safety testing. Is genetic engineering safe for you and your family? Safe for the environment? Safe for the future of mankind? These are some of the dangerous problems the safe-food campaign wants to discuss with people. It wants to make mandatory labelling of genetic engineered food. Views of various scientists are published about survival of genetically engineered organisms and their effects on environment. It includes food-chain toxicity danger of cross-pollination of GE plant with a natural plant and gene pollution. Claims made by pro-GE people are proved wrong by logics and facts. Genetic Engineering News (GEN) was
introduced in 1981. It is a widely read publication in the
biotechnology field. GEN covers the industrial biotechnology,
biopharmaceutical, agricultural, chemical, enzyme, and environmental
markets from applied research through commercialisation. GEN is the
source for news on biotechnology, bioresearch and technology transfer.
In addition to news and feature articles, each issue of GEN includes
tutorials, new products, clinical trials update and university gene
beat. The website introduces life sciences as a dominant industry in
the 21st century. GEN plays an important role in organizing and
sponsoring many important conferences and symposia.
