Who is for some Crispr-Y bacon? This week, the Food and Drug Administration approved a pig that was resolved by PIC, a biotechnology company that specializes in animal genetics for human consumption.
The Food and Drug Administration was approved on Wednesday that allowed a specific genes to be used in commercial pork. With the help of powerful denim tools-company In the United Kingdom, the most commonly resistant pork infection has affects pigs around the world. However, it will take longer for this GOR pig that will end on our dinner dishes.
“We spent many years in conducting research, checking our discovery and working with FDA for approval,” Matt Culbertson, Chief Operating Officer of PIC (short for pig improvements) in a statement. Released Thursday by the National Pig Association in the United Kingdom
The purpose of the PIC is to deal with the virus behind the hedgehog, reproductive and respiratory system (PRRS). It bumps in the pig cells that are often usurped by viruses to cause infection. Poring pigs should withstand all PRS viruses that are currently circulating. (Some rare sub -species can still cause infection)
Although PRRS may have existed in the previous forest But became a major problem among pig livestock many years ago Now it spreads widely and deeply destroyed by the industry, as it can kill small pigs and cause failure in the breeding of pigs. According to the world health organization, PRS is Approximately For the United States to be alone to lose $ 560 million per year
The correction was brought into the first phase of the embryo which was buried in the gums. (The female pig that arrives at the bedroom But not yet given birth), which means that mutation can be injured by the next generation of pigs in the future These pigs are not considered different in other ways. -taste and safety -From pork that has not been fixed
Pork that fixed PIC denim is not the first one that has been approved in the United States. In 2020, the Food and Drug Administration That has been approved Revivicor's Galsafe's Galsafe for both drug and pork food. Galsafe has been fixed to prevent alpha alpha alpha sugar anymore, which can stimulate allergies in some people and make pork not compatible for organ transplantation.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved other genetic modifications previously for human consumption, such as Salmon– But various companies have to struggle to clear the rules and regulations for approval or Get the main set in the trade market. When approved Which says that the characteristics are quite easy of the PIC method (removal does not increase genes) and large benefits that can be given to make these pigs the first GE livestock that has been trained and consumed widely by people. And its success can announce the arrival of other meat products that have been inherited or more resistant to diseases.
It will continue to use PIC (and the mother company). There is more time and resources so that their projects are fully expired. Because the pork industry is universal, the company tries to be safely approved in other important markets that are widely produced or imported, including Mexico, Canada and China. And not expecting the pork to be ready for buying in the United States until 2026 as soon as possible
