First Fruit
The Creation of the Flavr SavrTM Tomato
and the Birth of Genetically Engineered Food
Preface
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a
series of meetings in late 1999 that were designed to
gain feedback from the public on the agency’s policies
regarding genetically engineered foods. As a pioneer in the
field of biotech foods, part of Calgene, Inc.’s successful effort
to gain FDA approval of the Flavr SavrTM tomato, the
world’s first commercially available genetically engineered
whole food, I had been closely following the debate brewing
over them. Public feedback on the topic was sure to be
anything but dull. Curiosity, therefore, led me to Oakland,
California, on December 13 for the last of the FDA’s three
meetings, entitled “Biotechnology in the Year 2000 and
Beyond.” It was an eye-opener.
