The post Can Synthetic Food Be Organic Too? appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Synthetic, or synbio, products have yet to reach the commercial market, but people are already angry about them. First of all, people are puzzled by the fact that synthetic foods apparently can be labeled as “organic”. How?
Synbio foods come from completely computer-generated genes. The process is so perfected that the scientists are able to produce identical things to those that can be found in nature. At first, the synbio industry only made drugs and biofuels, but they are now branching out into food and fragrances.
The Food and Drug Administration considers any food free of added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances natural. This is how the synbio products could end up with a “natural” label on them. However, no genetically modified or synthetic substances will be able to get the “100% organic” label, as the rules for that are much more strict.
