"contains bioengineered food ingredients"

According to PubMed, most studies have shown that genetically modified foods (GM foods) can have toxic effects on the liver, pancreas, kidneys, or reproductive system. They can also alter biochemical, immunologic, and hematological parameters. Other concerns include:
Allergenicity: GM foods may expose people to new allergens.
Antibiotic resistance: GM foods could make disease-causing bacteria resistant to antibiotics, which could increase the spread of infections.
Unnatural changes: Bioengineering can alter an organism's DNA in an unnatural way.
New diseases: Scientists can't accurately predict where new diseases will arise because they don't fully understand what will happen when DNA from different species are combined.
Long-term effects: The long-term effects of bioengineered foods are not yet known.

Aldi supermarkets are selling food that "contains bioengineered food ingredients"
Knowing who shops at Aldi, that explains many of the posts on this board

Go to the grocery store or fruit stand. There will be 10-15 different variety of apples. ALL of them are "GM foods". That is generally the case for many fruits. So, should we not eat fruit anymore?

You better take this up with your ancestors that were doing this a few millennia ago. This is fear porn with food.

Corn, Wheat, Oats, Soybeans, and most any other grain is now "bioengineered". When they advertise the seed is "Roundup Ready" that is all you need to know.

Then by all means let’s rush into mass production of. What could possibly go wrong

Junk food like Twinkies and Oreos have those notes on them.
How much worse can the bio-food ingredients be than the shite in there for years?

I'm beginning to be sold on staying away from GMO foods
Posted on 5/1/24 at 9:45 am to RiverCityTider
I try to avoid that label but GMOs are in at least 80% of the products on shelves.
They came up with that label in 2012 I think, because GMO was getting flack. Congress and Big AG went with bioengineered food source instead.
But there's loopholes (of course). If the first ingredient listed is a meat then the GMO ingredients don't have to be disclosed.
And it's not just Aldi. It's everywhere.
Go to the juice aisle and look at the labels. Apple juice is in everything but no bioengineered food source label anywhere.
I used to keep packs of peanut butter crackers, maybe some Little Debbie fig Newton bars and Kar's sweet and salty trail mixes in my lunch box for snacks at work. All of those have GMOs.
I make my own trail mix with mixed nuts and raisins or cranberries now.
As far as I know it's not in coffee.. yet.

Hybrid plants (fruits/vegetables) are "bioengineered"
Posted on 5/1/24 at 11:00 am to RiverCityTider
I wasn’t big on avoiding GMOs until we went to Europe. The quality of food there is much higher for the most part, including fruits and vegetables, and you can straight up taste the difference. After coming back, we started reading labels more and more.
Compare something imported from Germany to its U.S. counterpart. You will likely recognize every ingredient.

its not just aldi, its all stores. just read the labels of the stuff you buy...

Stop eating processed food
Posted on 5/1/24 at 12:21 pm to RiverCityTider
Only way to get away from all of this bio engineered food crap is to move to Europe. They have very strict laws against this. I have to travel overseas quite a bit for work and the differences in food labels are crazy.

Your Publix sub bread is made from bio engineered ingredients
Posted on 5/1/24 at 4:51 pm to RiverCityTider
I grow as much as possible, veggies, berries, etc., don't buy any wheat products (even bread) with the exception of whole wheat pasta. Meat though is still purchased at the grocery stores as is eggs and dairy products. There are still products out there w/o the dreaded "bioengineered" labeling, i.e., Kraft mayo $1.25 at Dollar Tree for one. Watch out for Campbell soups as "they've managed to slip a few past us "label watchers".

where did the top quote come from?
Posted on 5/1/24 at 5:00 pm to RiverCityTider
When someone asks the, “what will baffle people of the future question”, my answer is always how unconcerned we are with the contamination of our food supply. In 200 years, I suspect they’ll look back on this age with the same moral disgust we feel towards our ancestor’s past embrace of slavery

I'd like to read this. Any links?

I thought we believe in science in this house?
