| | Genetically modified food - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Genetic engineering or genetic modification (GM) refers to technologies that allow single genes to be inserted or altered in living organisms such as animals, plants, or bacteria. | | | Directives, such as directive 2001/18/EC, were designed to require authorisation for the placing on the market of GMO, in accordance with the precautionary principle. | | | A series of additional sequences of DNA with encrypted information about the company or what was done to the product could also be added to provide more data. |

| | The collection of genetic material, usually unique, which provides the blueprint for the growth of the organism. | | | To counteract this, regulatory authorities advise that, wherever GMF’s are to be consumed live, such as is the case with live yoghurt made using modified starter cultures, the marker genes should be eliminated from the final product. | | | A number of ethical questions remain to be answered which is a reflection of the relative infancy of this new technology. |
