JRC Policy Report Discusses the Impacts of Gene-Edited, Low-Gluten, Celiac-Safe Wheat
July 12, 2023| |
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) used NGT-CRISPR-Cas targeted mutation to produce low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat that will help individuals with gluten intolerance. The policy report shared the advantages of this product when it becomes available in the market.
The GM gluten-free wheat products will be cheaper for people that follow a celiac-safe diet. The products can also eliminate the undesirable consequences of a gluten-free diet. Other advantages include the increase in income for the EU farmers and the boost in export volumes that will benefit the EU agri-food system.
