By aren’t I mean not at all, or very little. They do, do some testing.

Normal crops are not tested. We know they are safe as we’ve been eating them for hundreds of years.

New products are tested. Such as new drugs, new planes and everything that is very new.
You can trust me when I say every scientist in the world thinks we should be testing GM anything b4 we use it.

Like we need to know if a GM tomato is still eatable and hasn’t become toxic.

I’ll find info on the testing tomorrow.

Ps- I am not against GM! I totally support the use of GM in producing drugs for example. The big difference for me between drugs and food is that drugs are tested and produced in a controlled environment were contamination to the natural world is very unlikely. Unlike GM crops which are tested outdoors and can easily spread via pollen.

Good night
