"contains bioengineered food ingredients"
Posted on 5/1/24 at 9:09 am

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.

Want to know what you eat grow your own 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.

Bioengineering includes gene splicing and not just cross breeding.

What percentage of hot dog protein is derived from GM crickets and roaches
Posted on 5/1/24 at 9:43 am to RiverCityTider
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.

Or lab grown tongue, ears, feet, liver to be ground into those hotdogs

My good friend has a PHD and works for DOW in soybean gene splicing.The general public has no idea what's being done.

Hybrid plants (fruits/vegetables) are "bioengineered"

Actually there are only 3 varieties of bioengineered apples approved in the United States. USDA reports about 1,000-1,500 acres total. They would have "Artic" trade name.
So the average shopper isn't seeing any in regular grocery stores. Same for other fruits.
There are only 2 other fruits approved. -- a papaya and a pink fleshed pineapple.
Most foods labeled bioengineered are because of corn, canola or soybean ingredients (oils etc).
Here is a USDA link to all of the bioengineered foods available in the world.
USDA bioengineered food list.

Good to know. My granddaughter loves her some apple juice.

I’m aware. I was in the Ag industry, specifically produce, for quite some time. But what is being pushed here is for low info types. Monsanto and Bayer use their programs to introduce genes or eliminate traits that result in making crops disease and drought resistant and increase yields for example. That’s bioengineering and is needed to be honest.

Yeah a Twitter link and "most PubMed studies" isn't enough here.
It's certainly attention grabbing, but there is zero specific how and why quoted from any of these studies.
I grow a lot of home fruits & veggies, it would be useful to know what's driving this stuff without needing a phD in organic chem.
