# There are No Fish Genes in Tomatoes | Office for Science and Society - McGill University

> A McGill University science column argues that there are no fish genes in tomatoes and that existing labeling rules would require disclosure if there were. It also describes an earlier experiment to enrich soybeans with a methionine-rich Brazil nut protein, which was abandoned after allergy tests showed cross-reactivity. The piece is an explainer on genetic modification rather than a market event.

## Why it matters

Research into methionine-enriched soybeans could eventually reduce reliance on synthetic methionine in poultry feed, but the work was abandoned and has no near-term price effect.
