The following report is a press release by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), published February 22nd:
In support of innovation and more food choices for consumers, today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a guidance for industry that describes how firms can voluntarily engage with the FDA before marketing food from genome-edited plants. The guidance reaffirms that the risk-based approach the FDA has taken for foods derived from new plant varieties also applies to foods from genome-edited plants. In addition, this guidance describes two processes through which they may voluntarily inform the FDA of the steps they have taken to ensure the safety of foods from their genome-edited plant varieties: voluntary premarket consultations and voluntary premarket meetings. These processes can help ease the pathway to market for foods from genome-edited plants, while keeping FDA safeguards in place.
Advancements in the field of plant biotechnology are bringing new food products to the marketplace. Such advancements may contribute to helping meet the needs of a growing world population and to helping address food insecurity globally. The FDA works with other U.S. government agencies to regulate products derived from biotechnology-derived plants. This includes products that have been developed using genetic engineering and genome editing.
The FDA’s voluntary premarket Plant Biotechnology Consultation Program enables developers to engage with the agency to determine the appropriate oversight pathways to bring safe, innovative plant-based products to market. Foods from genome-edited plants must meet the same food safety requirements as foods derived from traditionally bred plants.
In this guidance, the FDA continues to recommend voluntary premarket engagement with the agency. The recommended pathway for engagement is based on a food’s risk-based characteristics. The guidance describes two processes through which developers may voluntarily inform the FDA of the steps they have taken to ensure the safety of foods from their new genome-edited plant varieties: voluntary premarket consultations and voluntary premarket meetings. The voluntary premarket meeting pathway is recommended for developers to inform the agency of their foods when a voluntary premarket consultation is not warranted based on the food’s risk-based characteristics. The agency expects this voluntary premarket meeting pathway to take less time than a voluntary premarket consultation, including because the meeting pathway is recommended for foods that are less likely to raise safety questions. The FDA continues to suggest voluntary premarket consultations for foods that have certain risk-based characteristics, as described in the guidance.
This guidance helps to improve the efficiency of the regulatory processes for biotechnology products, as directed by Executive Order 14081, Advancing Biomanufacturing and Biotechnology Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure Bioeconomy. This guidance is also consistent with the principles in the 1992 Statement of Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant Varieties (NPV policy).
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Even though this news will fall on deaf ears and very will hear of it, it is quite important, and it is why I routinely keep warning about it.
This “next-gen” frakenfood is a big piece these globalist elites want to get through onto the masses, and has been listed in their climate change simulations as a plan going forward; introduced after their artificial famines and supply chain breakdowns are further induced. You are what you eat.
[6] Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: [7] For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. [8] The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. Proverbs 23:6-8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
