Synopsis: The decision of the restaurant chain Chipotle to go GMO-free
is potentially a huge blow to the agbiotech industry. The decision opens
up a crack in the previously solid front offered by the food industry
in support of GMOs. Two factors are at work that will widen that crack:
the growing unpopularity of GMOs and the pressure being felt by most
sectors of the food industry to produce safer, healthier, and more
sustainable products. Going GMO-free is a simple and manageable way for
stores and brands to meet that demand. Consequently, a race to become
GMO-free may be developing. But there is a third factor in this
scenario: hazards in the GMO product pipeline. Many new GMOs are
expected to be produced using a phenomenon called RNA interference which
uses perfectly double stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). Our research shows that
RNA molecules exactly like these were tried and rejected by medical
researchers in the 1960s and 1970s as being too hazardous for medicine.
The scientific literature evaluating the hazards of RNA molecules in
crop biotechnology has so far overlooked this important historical
research. As this research becomes better known, it will make defending
the use of GMOs much harder.
