Answer / swechcha
Many of the issues raised by foods resulting from genetic
modification are equally applicable to foods produced by
conventional means.
Techniques such as recombinant DNA technology permit the
transfer of genetic material form unrelated species .That's
why safety issues are being discussed here.
Safety assessment provides assurances that toxic and or
allergenic compounds are not transferred along with the
desired trait when new DNA is introduced into an organism.
