Genetically Engineered grains have been in existence for several years, amidst many concerns from various organizations and individuals. Now, the FDA is set to approve Genetically Engineered Animals to be introduced into the food chain.
Ever since the beginning of Genetically Engineered grains, controversy has surrounded their safety. The
Sierra Club initiated a national petition against Monsanto's genetically engineered wheat.
The Organic Consumers organization is equally against genetically engineered grains stating "Campaign activists are also demanding that corporations and governments heed the concerns of consumers, North and South, and remove genetically engineered
corn and other foods and crops from the market, unless they can be proven to be safe for human
health and the environment. Recently hundreds of
US consumers have reported allergic reactions to the FDA after eating Kraft and other brand name products likely containing genetically engineered corn." [
