Can the GMOs used by Novo Nordisk survive in nature?
Our GMOs are too week to survive in nature. We do everything to prevent leakage of GMOs and have very strict guidelines for actions if it accidentally should happen. In a few instances small amounts of fluids containing GMOs have by mistakes been leaked into the sewerage system. In these instances the authorities and NGOs have been called to watch the treatment of the waste. The waste has been thoroughly examined to determine whether the GMOs could survive in nature. As expected, the GMOs we use are too week to survive in nature. The genetically modified cells in our production are created in a laboratory and only intended for production in a protected and controlled environment. This means that the cells are very weak. It will take a number of very unusual incidents for our GMOs to survive in nature.
