![JRC Policy Report Discusses the Impacts of Gene-Edited, Low-Gluten, Celiac-Safe Wheat](/Images_upload/images/New Picture (28)(85).png)
Figure; The Joint Research Centre (JRC) released a policy report on the impacts of low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat developed using gene editing. It also offered evidence-based scientific support to the policy-making process in Europe.
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) used NGT-CRISPR-Cas targeted mutation to produce low-gluten, celiac-safe wheat that will help individuals with gluten intolerance. The policy report shared the advantages of this product when it becomes available in the market.
The GM gluten-free wheat products will be cheaper for people that follow a celiac-safe diet. The products can also eliminate the undesirable consequences of a gluten-free diet. Other advantages include the increase in income for the EU farmers and the boost in export volumes that will benefit the EU agri-food system.
