“Nobody wants drugs in their cornflakes,” said Dr. Margaret Mellon, Director of the Food and Environment Program at Union of Concerned Scientists. Yet, that’s exactly what could be seeping into them.

Experimental genetically engineered (GE) crops have been grown in the US for the last decade, containing human proteins, industrial chemicals and drugs. Corn and soy beans are most commonly used as the host plants. And public concern about the potential for a disastrous contamination of the food supply is rising.

According to a report from six agricultural experts, there are many points at which drugs and plastics could pass into the food supply, if GE crops are grown under the same production system. They said GE food crops could be used to produce drugs and chemicals safely, but only if a completely new production system was established from the ground up, and that would involve new management systems, new oversight, and new uses of some equipment and technologies.
