Q&A With Gregory Jaffe GMOs: From Farmer to Food Supply

摘要

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have long been a part of our food supply, providing benefits to farmers that are passed through the supply chain. However, confusion surrounding GMOs and their purpose in foods and beverages has caused an uproar among many consumers and consumer activist groups. Misinformation has led to concern about the safety of GMOs and GMO ingredients, causing consumers to rally against products that contain them. In addition, heated legislation surrounding GMOs—specifically regarding mandatory labeling of products containing them—has heightened consumer awareness. These factors have prompted the food and beverage industry to take an active role in educating consumers about GMO ingredients.
