re: So, does consuming food products with “bio engineered” ingredients cause you any concern?

The most important foods have almost all been genetically modified or bio engineered.

Yeah, genetic experiments with food have yielded a lot of very important (positive) results, and there have been some important nutritional deficits addressed in Asia and Africa if I recall.

There probably should be some clarification as to what “bioengineered” means, because altering the number of chromosomes is common and easy (and responsible for edible bananas, and I think seedless watermelons, too).

In terms of forced gene insertions, as above- some very important ones are out there and have been good.

All citrus shares a common ancestor plant that’s been bred and modified to the dozenish varieties we love and enjoy today.
