In general, majority of genes transferred to plants via biotechnological methods are bacteria and virus originated which forms the basis of several problems. Since, transgenic crops include new transformed gene products and seconder metabolites, they have a potential risk on human health. The most important health risks of genetically modified crops are claimed to be allergy, toxicity and cancer. Public health regulatory systems need to be put in place in every country to identify and monitor potential adverse human health effects of transgenic crops. ER -
