Reply #56: Well, from what I've read

It hasn't made it's way to market yet, it is something that the GM engineers are working on, and it may or may not come to market depending on the success of these things. Essentially they are taking the AFP gene out of the fish(which is what keeps a North Atlantic fish from freezing solid, a natural antifreeze so to speak) and splicing onto the strawberry DNA. A kind of "Gee whiz, look what we can do" experiment. Here are a couple of links that briefly mention this <http://www.supermarketguru.com/page.cfm/159><http://www.greenpeace.ca/shoppersguide/what.php>

Whether or not this one protein sequence that is grafted onto the strawberry will kick off a person's allergies, since this is all still under development. However I would recommend that your wife and all folks who have food allergies start buying organic, or growing your own, just to make sure. It was another reason why I bought out in the country, so I could have the room to grow my own food. The backyard I had in the city simply didn't get the sun for a good garden(though I did have wild strawberries popping up the last couple of years)
