The UK Food Standards Agency has published its Consumer perceptions of genome edited food report as part of broader efforts to increase its evidence base in the field of genetic technologies. The project sought feedback from consumers on their perceptions of genome edited (GE) food and its potential future labeling.
The research highlighted low participant awareness of GE and its difference to Genetically Modified (GM) food and the need to educate the public on GE technology for use in foods.
