Question

What does partially produced with genetic engineering mean?

Answer 1

“Partially produced with genetic engineering” is common in food because of its need to be preserved. It’s a choice whether to manipulate the gene expression or the genome is untouched. It means that one ingredient of the food is genetically modified but not the entire product.

Answer 2

Partially produced with genetic engineering is the caption found on the food products. It describes that some of the ingredients of the product are produced by organisms that have been genetically modified (direct manipulation of DNA to insert or delete genes). For example, when you buy a jam made of corn syrup it might have “partially produced with genetic engineering” because it is made of genetically modified corn.
