Genetically engineered foods
Side effects:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates production and labeling of genetically engineered foods. Some people have raised concerns that the genes from one food that are inserted into another food may cause an allergic reaction. For instance, if peanut genes are in tomatoes, could someone with a peanut allergy react to tomatoes? Because of this concern, some consumers feel that FDA should require labeling of genetically engineered foods. At this time, the labeling debate continues.
