Are GM products safe for infants to eat?
GM products have never been proven safe for people to eat and are certainly not recommended for infants. Children are far more vulnerable to the potential negative side effects of eating GM products. This is because a child’s immune system is still developing. Parents often rely on infant formula to provide their child’s only source of nutrition. The British Royal Society recommends rigorous examination of the safety of GM products for infants, due to their vulnerability and their reliance on formula as their sole source of food.
