Example – Potential adverse effects
“With every new emerging technology, there are potential risks. For LMOs, the potential risks include:
- The danger of unintentionally introducing allergens and other anti-nutrition factors in foods;
- The likelihood of transgenes escaping from cultivated GM crops into wild relatives;
- The potential for pests to evolve resistance to the toxins produced by GM crops;
- The risk of these toxins affecting non-target organisms.”
