#Meet Your Gene-Edited Salad
Mustard greens that have been genetically altered to remove their pungent flavor are coming to US grocery stores. Despite the unknown health effects of consuming this gene-edited food, they won't be labeled as such.
Pairwise, an agricultural biotechnology company, created Conscious Greens Purple Power Baby Greens Blend, the first CRISPR-edited food available to U.S. consumers. The company used CRISPR, or Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat, to edit mustard greens’ DNA, removing a gene that gives them their pungent flavor
In 2022, researchers with Boston Children’s Hospital revealed that using CRISPR in human cell lines increased the risk of large rearrangements of DNA, which could increase cancer risk . Because regulators don’t consider gene-edited foods to be genetically modified organisms (GMOs), they don’t have to be labeled
