What is the USDA's Role in Biotechnology and GMOs?
The USDA regulates biotechnology products and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to ensure they do not pose a risk to human health or the environment. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) oversees the introduction of GMOs into the environment, while the FSIS evaluates their safety in the food supply. The USDA collaborates with other agencies to assess the potential toxicological impacts of these products.
