WOW 🚨 Entire countries are exempting American candy companies from regulations in regards to their new chocolate gene editing programs Mars Candy Company’s CRISPR Gene Editing of Cocoa Trees is taking place in Ghana, well Ghana exempts most CRISPR edits from regulation entirely. What authority does Mars have to edit the genetics of cocoa trees worldwide, this is far riskier than growing cocoa cells in a controlled tank which can be shut down if issues arise This will cause Irreversible Environmental Spread via Pollen Gene-edited cocoa trees are perennial, cross-pollinating plants that release pollen year-round for 25–40 years. New edited pollen can escape via insects or wind into the regional gene pool, affecting non-owned trees. Engineered genetic edits skip nature’s slow filtering process for harmful mutations; problems may not show for years, cocoa takes 5–10 years to mature and lives decades, allowing widespread issues to happen before detection Why does any company have the right to edit genes across all cocoa trees globally, including those they don’t own, given inevitable cross-contamination? “Ghana exempts most CRISPR edits from regulation entirely. As long as the company just clips out sections of genetic material and doesn't add foreign DNA, there's no application, no risk assessment, no field trial requirement. Ghana's own guidance says gene edits present no unique environmental concerns. Côte d'Ivoire grows 42% of the world's cocoa. They passed a biosafety law in 2016 with no functioning regulator to enforce it. So in the two countries that most of the world's cocoa, the regulatory answer is either "this is exempt" or "nobody's home." The scariest part of the chocolate story isn't happening in a tank. It's happening in a field. By the time we figure out what we've done, it'll already be everywhere.” Then there’s the worst part. We are going to be eating this new chocolate without any long term tests. It’s going to be in essentially our entire candy isle We are bypassing safety and our own health so that these companies can maintain and increase their profits There has to be other solutions than lab grown or gene editing. We can’t let this happen
