News on (commercialised) genome-edited organisms
In 2022 the FDA determined the intentional genetic alteration (IGA) in the genome-edited (GE) heat tolerant cattle (GE-PRLR-SLICK cattle) to be low-risk and had no objections against the marketing of products derived from the two-genome edited beef cattle and their progeny.
Two CRISPR edited fish (GE-mstn red sea bream, GE-lepr tiger pufferfish) have been approved for sale in Japan in 2021 (see Crop Biotech Update, ISAAA). Both fish were developed to grow larger than conventional fish for an increased meat portion.
Japan approved the commercial sale of the Sicilian Rouge High GABA Tomato in 2021 (GE-high GABA Tomato, see Crop Biotech Update, ISAAA).
In 2019 the first gene-edited food touched the market in the USA (see Crop Biotech Update, ISAAA): high-oleic soybean oil (marketed as CalynoTM, produced from GE-FAD2KO Soybean).
Please note that the information about the commercialisation status is not available for all GE-organisms in EUginius.
In some countries, organisms generated using New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) are not considered as GMOs. In the European Union, genome-edited organisms are subject to the rules of the GMO legislation, currently no products obtained by NGTs are marketed in the EU.
