Gene-hacked sausages are here

gene hacked sausage

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved genetically modified pork sausages to enter the food supply. This system, fully known as CRISPR-Cas9, allows researchers to add, remove or alter the DNA sequence of various parts of the genome. By doing so they can change the dna of the sausages.

This technology, which creates excitement with the possibility of providing solutions to genetic diseases, but also brings ethical debates, was invented 10 years ago.

"It's important for a university to set a precedent by working with federal regulators to get these animals into the food supply," doctors said. "If we don't go through this process, all our research will go to waste because it will never reach the public," the scientist added. What scientists try to do is change the understanding of gene hacked food and help people trust sausages again.
