FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The human alimentary canal bacteria can take up the antibiotic resistance gene from GM food and can become resistant to the concerned antibiotic, making it difficult to manage them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Do GMOs cause allergies or allergic reactions? No. Most food allergies are caused by allergens found in just nine foods: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, sesame, and fish. For example, soy is an allergenic food available in a GMO version.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since genetic engineering transfers genes (the DNA recipes for proteins) from one organism to another, a genetically engineered plant can trigger an allergic response if a host plant protein is allergenic anyhow, or if the new transgenic protein is allergenic.
