- An American agricultural biotechnology expert has raised
concerns following revelations that the protein found in a type of genetically
modified corn has spread to other varieties of corn seed.
-
- GM StarLink corn was genetically engineered to produce
a more pest-resistant plant.
-
- But because the StarLink protein could cause an allergic
reaction in some people the crop has not been approved for human consumption.
-
- Biotechnology industry consultant Chris Klose says the
big biotechnology companies are not treating consumer concerns about genetic
modification seriously enough.
-
- "It is basically tampering with the very essence
of life itself," he said.
-
- "I mean this is a serious issue and the idea of
escape is a very real concern to me, it may not be to a lot of people."
