Health Canada approved the genetically engineered tomato in February 1995. Scientists said they had successfully slowed the tomato's ripening process, allowing for a firmer, fleshier fruit. The "Flavr Savr" tomato was the first genetically engineered food available for sale in the U.S. Health Canada has approved a wide variety of genetically modified foods, including corn, flax, potatoes, soy beans, tomatoes and canola, for sale in the marketplace. Genetically modified food testing standards for toxins, allergens and other health risks must beexhaustive, he said. Gregory Jaffe, biotechnology project director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C., said all altered food products should be rigorously tested and regulated. Some organic food groups have vigorously opposed scientifically altering crops, saying "Frankenfoods" could endanger public health. "There's been an indication that there's a reluctance of consumers in this country and, to a greater extent, in Japan and Europe." Some groups oppose 'Frankenfoods' "Presumably a higher-quality potato would receive consumer acceptance, but that's a question mark," Zerza said. Food and Drug Administration is continuing to research acrylamide's effects, while Health Canada says that people can have fried or deep-fried foods in moderation, noting that in small amounts, acrylamide won't pose health problems.įred Zerza, a Simplot spokesperson, said the company knows that consumers have been wary of genetically modified foods, citing health concerns. Swedish scientists warned in 2000 that acrylamide compounds posed a potential cancer risk. He noted thatthe new potato can be stored longer before its starches break down and sugars build up.Įarlier studies have indicated that storage methods and sugar composition in potatoes may influence acrylamide formation. Rommens said two genes were removed from the potatoes and were replaced with alternates.

It's a breakthrough - the first time genetic modification ever enhanced flavour." NOTE: some users of Windows 98 and Windows NT have had trouble using this version of SimPlot because of errors involveing 'OLEAUT32.DLL'. "It's five years down the road and only if consumers really want it," said Caius Rommens, Simplot's lead biologist on the project. Researchers say the altered potato's gene structure will rebuff acrylamides, a natural byproduct that is produced when starchy foods are cooked at high temperatures. Rommens was director of research at Simplot Plant Sciences from 2000 to 2013 where he led development of the company’s genetically engineered Innate potato. The modified Russet Ranger, which has no eyes or bruises, is in a preliminary research phase at Idaho's J. Slice in half before serving.Biologists in Idaho are hoping their breakthrough potato, which they say deliverssuperior taste and health benefits, will quell suspicions about the safety of genetically modified foods.
