The law has changed to allow the commercial development and sale of gene-edited food in England.
Researchers in Cambridge are developing gene edited potatoes that don't bruise in order to reduce food wasteGene-edited food can now be developed commercially in England following a change in the law.
The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments have not permitted the commercial use of gene editing.Scientists say that gene editing can help to produce new climate-change resistant crops quickly "What's changed is that we can now use precision breeding technology developed in the lab and take it into the fields so that we can grow better crops and bring them to market more readily so that we can use the technology to enhance agricultural outcomes and food production in the UK and globally," he said.
The new law allows for the use of gene editing and other methods that may arise in the future, provided the end result is a crop that is no different to a variety that could have been naturally produced.Gene edited tomatoes rich in a chemical with calming effects are on sale in Japan
