Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a new type of organisms that do not exist in nature, the genotype of which has been artificially modified using genetic engineering techniques to improve the quality of the primary organism (plants, animals, feed, etc.). In Russia, the production of GMOs is not officially permitted. But this does not prevent the manufacture of products from using imported additives and concentrates. The Russian Federation is officially authorized to use 24 types of genetically modified series with a modified DNA structure for five varieties of crops: potatoes, maize, soybeet, sugar beet and rice:

Despite a small list, culture data from the GMO line can be added to a large number of products in the form of separate components, it would appear that between 30 and 40 per cent of the products contain GMOs components. Such components can be found in bakeries, pastries, meat and dairy products, even in children's food.
Currently, in Russia, 0.9 per cent or less of food products are accidental or technically unremediable and documented by the manufacturer. In the case of GMOs in food products more than 0.9 per cent, the product must be informed that it contains GMOs. Unfortunately, this amount of GMM is limited to the Russian Federation's registered lines of GMOs. With regard to the use of unregistered GMOs in food products, even if they exist, the manufacturer has the right to post a popular inscription GEO BEZ.
Federal Act No. 358-FZ of 03.07.2016, which prohibits the cultivation and cultivation of genetically engineered plants and animals in Russia, with the exception of scientific works, entered into force on 4.07.2017. However, entry of products containing GMOs will be possible only after the importer has completed a special registration.
The increased use of GMOs and their components in the production of food, agricultural feed and pharmaceuticals has made it increasingly important to develop effective methods for identifying transgenic DNA. At present, our company has developed and widely applied testing systems for the detection of foreign DNA fragments using a real-time PCR that allow not only qualitative analysis to be performed to determine GMOs but also to identify a specific line with the possibility of further quantitative analysis to determine the percentage content of GMOs.
For this purpose, WET FACTOR has been constantly expanding its range and has already developed a PCR test system.
