-pose health problems
Eg) allergy caused by the food allergens in brazil nuts, soy, fruits etc
Eg) GM soybean in US cause allergy in children. GM soybean contains more soy allergen as compare to the natural soybean. Moreover, the soy allergen is not susceptible to heat (during cooking). Besides that, the GM soybean contains a special type of protein (cannot be found in natural soybean). Hence, the soy allergen in GM soybean will cause allergy to the consumers.


- Genes transfer from GM crop to other crops through pollination
Eg) GM crop will cross-breed with the other natural crops GM crops (resistant to herbicides) cross-breed with the weeds. The weeds will be resistant to herbicides after pollination. As a result, a stronger herbicide would be used by the farmer in order to kill the weeds. This will harm the environment.


- Cause inadvertent harm to other living organisms
Eg)B.T corns many kinds of insects such as caterpillars of Monarch butterflies pollens from B.T corns are transfer to milkweed leaves. Hence, the caterpillars died after eating the transformed pollens (contain toxin).
