Abstract

A unique class of gene biotechnology known as genetic modification modifies the genetic makeup of living things like microbes, plants, and animals. Several possible advantages and hazards associated with gene biotechnology. Due to increased food demands and improved food quality, interest in using gene technology to produce food has grown. Genetically modified foods have the potential to address a large number of hunger and malnutrition problems worldwide. In addition to helping to maintain the environment by boosting yield and lowering dependency on artificial pesticides and herbicides, Concerns and debates around genetically modified foods and crops typically center on issues including food security, consumer choice and labeling, human and environmental safety, and preservation. Some significant issues related to the safety, ecological, and environmental threats, as well as the health risks associated with genetically modified foods and recombinant technology, will also be covered in this review. We concluded that it is important to consider the detrimental effects of gene technology on humans, animals, and the environment. Adequate regulations should be in place before genetically modified food is introduced into food markets to ensure consumer safety and the necessity of continuing research to track the long-term impacts of genetically modified technologies on human health and environment, addressing worries about unforeseen consequences. Also the efforts of scientists and legislators are essential for global future of genetically modified ingredients.
