Do you have what it takes to win Science’s #DanceYourPhD competition?
We want you to top last year’s food-themed frolic from the Helsinki chemist who dressed up as a chili pepper. Or maybe you can get #AI to dance on your behalf? Learn more: https://scim.ag/3LuVObX

Es mag auf Anhieb richtig erscheinen, dass man mit CRISPR gezüchtete Pflanzen bzw Lebensmittel kennzeichnen sollte. Warum dem nicht so ist und eine Aufhebung der Kennzeichnungspflicht für NGT1 logisch & Verbrauchenden ggü transparent ist, wird hier gut erklärt:

Kennzeichnung für einige Gentechnik-Lebensmittel fällt weg: Gleiches wird nun endlich gleich benannt
Die EU regelt neu, wie Lebensmittel, die gentechnisch veränderte Pflanzen enthalten, gekennzeichnet werden müssen. Eine überfällige und angemessene Anpassung.
