Biotech investors hope the GM Purple Tomato can rebuild public trust in genetically engineered foods, while skeptics are concerned about potential health and environmental risks due to lack of regulation.
Developed by Norfolk Plant Sciences in the UK, the GM Purple Tomato uses anthocyanin genes from snapdragon flowers to produce a purple hue and potentially increased nutritional value.
The Purple Tomato's anthocyanin content throughout the whole fruit, not just the skin, offers a unique source of antioxidants for consumers and marks a new era in GM food marketing.
