Japan is emerging as a pioneer in the introduction of gene-edited foodstuffs. It allows gene-edited products to be sold to consumers without safety evaluations as long as the techniques involved meet certain criteria — a screening process similar to that adopted by the United States. It has introduced three CRISPR-edited products to date: fleshier red sea bream, high-growth tiger puffer, and a GABA-enriched tomato. Referred to in the media as a ‘super tomato’, it features five times the normal amount of GABA, an amino acid linked to lower blood pressure, thanks to tweaks to genes that normally limit GABA production.
