The impact of genetically modified plants on food allergies
Has the appearance of genetically modified plants in the diet impacted on food allergies?
Whilst an assessment of risks is essential it is also important to consider the possible benefits which genetically modified plants may bring in this area, particularly through the development of hypo-allergenic varieties.
In its report the Agency has therefore reviewed the risks and benefits of these new products in terms of food allergies. The Agency considers that within current knowledge, foods obtained from genetically modified plants do not carry a higher risk of allergy than other foods.
