FDA gives some GMO animals a pass

Wouldn’t you want to know if any animal carcass on your dinner plate had been genetically engineered? The Food and Drug Administration, apparently following in Big Ag’s footsteps wallet, thinks you don’t need to worry about that. It said animals will need to be identified only if there’s a significant change in the food. With the FDA getting to decide what “significant” is.

And, like USDA on plants, the burden of proof will fall on us, the eaters of food consumers of food-like substances.
