Middle East and Africa Genetically Modified Food Safety Testing Market was worth USD 0.11 billion in 2024 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 7.07%, to reach USD 0.15 billion by 2029.
Genetically modified foods, also called as genetically engineered foods, are produced by organisms in which certain changes have been introduced to their genetic material using some techniques of genetic engineering. These techniques allow for the researchers to introduce new traits which are previously not present in that organism. As the DNA of the organisms has been altered, certain characteristics of the organisms might also have been changed. In order to ensure that the changes that occurred do not cause any negative effects, safety testing has to be done to food produces from such organisms. The safety testing generally tests for the characteristics of food such as toxicity, allergenicity, stability of altered or inserted gene and nutritional effects of the food resulted from genetic modification. Technological advancements in genetic engineering which allow greater control over traits than other methods and increasing need for enhanced nutritional food products are expected to drive the market. The possibility of unintended harmful effects due to gene insertion and toxicity of genetically modified foods for humans are also driving the market. However, public concerns regarding the safety of GM foods, environmental impacts, and varying regulatory status in different countries are restricting the market growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
GM food safety testing involves the analysis of food products to detect the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and ensure compliance with regulatory standards
A wide range of food products, including grains, fruits, vegetables, processed foods, and animal products, may undergo GM food safety testing to verify their GMO status and ensure consumer safety.
Common testing methods include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and DNA sequencing, among others. These methods detect specific genetic markers or proteins associated with GMOs in food samples.
