Summary

Transgenic foods are those in the design of which genetic engineering techniques have been used. Their marketing seems polemic as refers to the position on the matter of multinational companies which produce such foods and the position of opposition pressure groups which are contrary to their use. Such groups argue that there are serious health and environmental risks. The author discusses the possible dangers of transgenic foods from a strictly scientific perspective.
