What is Food Biotechnology?What is Food Biotechnology?
Food biotechnology is the evolution of traditional agricultural techniques such as crossbreeding and fermentation.
It is an extension of the type of food development that has provided nectarines, tangerines and similar advancements.

Food Quality & ProcessingFood Quality & Processing
• Many processed foods use biotech crops
• Improved fat profile in oils - more stable for frying
• Delayed ripening = fresher produce
![Page 11: The Past, Present and Future of. What is Food Biotechnology? Food biotechnology is the evolution of traditional agricultural techniques such as crossbreeding](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d165503460f949ebbb3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Health & NutritionHealth & Nutrition
• More nutritious products to meet consumer demands
• Some oils may not require hydrogenation, and therefore be low or free of trans fatty acids
• Potatoes with higher solid content

U.S. Labeling Policy for U.S. Labeling Policy for Food BiotechnologyFood Biotechnology
• FDA safety standards are consistent for all foods.
• A label disclosure would be required if . . . – Allergens were present in the food– Levels of naturally occurring toxins had increased.– Nutrient composition or profile had been changed from
its traditional counterpart

FDA & Labeling Guidelines FDA & Labeling Guidelines
• Jan 2001 FDA draft voluntary labeling guidelines released for public comment– “GM” or “GMO” would not be allowed
on labels• Consumers found confusing• Misleading because inaccurate
