    In subjects with existing food allergies, would the human consumption of animal foods produced using genetic engineering (GE) technologies elicit allergic reactions because of the presence of allergens or cross-reactive allergens from other biological sources (food or non-food) that are one of the novel proteins contained within these GE animal foods?
    In subjects with existing food allergies, what is the effect of human consumption of animal foods produced using genetic engineering (GE) technologies on reducing allergenicity?
    • Conclusion
      There were no human studies identified to address consumption of animal foods produced using genetic engineering (GE) technologies on reducing allergenicity in subjects with existing food allergies.
