Genetically modified foods are derived from organisms whose DNA has been altered through the insertion of genes from one organism into a second organism in order to suppress, encourage, or otherwise alter particular genetic traits in the second organism.
GM food comes primarily from four crops that dominate GM agriculture: soybeans, maize (corn), cotton, and canola
Much of the debate over GM food regulation stems from the tension between the potential risks and benefits of GM foods. Concerns over human health and the environment have driven both sides of the argument: while GM foods may pose unknown risks to human health, they may also be the key to feeding a growing world population.
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using the genetic engineering techniques generally known as recombinant DNA technology.
Since 18 April 2004, Genetically Modified Food and Feed applications are regulated in the European Community under Regulation (EC) 1829/2003. Genetic Engineering Act in Germany is regulated since 2005. This paper studies GM Food Accidents and Civil Liability. GM Food Litiation can be divided into several broad legal doctrinal categories ; tort, nuisance, product liability.
If GM Food Accidents are occurred, new legislation is necessary to solve me dispute of GM food as a present legislation is not enough to meet it.
