Nonetheless, debates about safety for human consumption are far from settled. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/foodsafety\/areas_work\/food-technology\/faq-genetically-modified-food\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The World Health Organization has outlined the major concerns<\/a>\u00a0addressed in GM food safety testing, namely allergenicity, gene transfer within humans, and outcrossing between plants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/harvest\/viewpoints\/issafe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In the PBS documentary <em>Harvest of Fear<\/em><\/a>, Hugh Grant (Scottish CEO of Monsanto, not the English charmer from Four Weddings and a Funeral), states that extensive food safety testing has been done and the GMO issues we face in the 21st century are more about environmental impact than human health. Other experts, including Jane Rissler, PhD, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, argues that a lack of GM labeling in the US and in other countries makes it impossible to track food safety issues back to a GM food source.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/products\/databriefs\/db121.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that food allergies in US children nearly doubled between 1997 and 2011.<\/a>\u00a0No one can really say why allergies are on the rise in the US. <a href=\"https:\/\/globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2016\/04\/18\/829615\/0\/en\/Genetically-Modified-Food-Safety-Testing-Market-2016-2020.html?parent=829629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Concerns about allergenicity make GM food safety testing a hot market these days,<\/a>\u00a0one that labs are scrambling to keep up with. Others are addressing allergies head on, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/2015\/06\/26\/blogground-breaking-research-autoclaved-peanuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soheila J.

GM food safety testing and allergen research will hopefully soon stem the tide of rising food allergies in the US.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zlakfoto\/5294803278\/in\/photolist-94TfxG-bTwp2k-srEJTa-srEKbV-fKRMCW-aQeL9Z-aQcCvR-aQcnPi-aQE66P-4FK7Kb-aa3Jut-aQfj5r-aQc6D8-eS6Wuq-7Sho3D-eHycPr-ettS6G-baAGj-dNyy18-bmT9F1-dxDPTg-hRL2AF-hN1djZ-a2E1Ah-5KWXy-aAZnD5-argEhZ-6mmiKN-nUcFn9-etV6fy-iFiov3-ettCBh-6HACzK-gonEJc-dGpzkW-5uxb9G-6o12rB-65sLVL-9XXsi6-9XY2FT-9XXYqx-9Y1zSu-5osr4e-9Y1shb-9XY8ie-bkHahh-pmPNxW-anvpot-65cdjZ-8tGNU8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gabriel Hess, CC BY 2.0<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\\&#8217;s not science fiction: Genetically modified (GM) food has been on the market for twenty-two years.
