North America Genetically Modified Food Safety Testing Market Overview

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 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 allows 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.
