The Globalization of agri-food system make the risk of food global phenomenon to be global. The widening of distance and time difference from agricultural product to food consumption causes difficulty in controlling of food safety. As the technological potential for overcoming natural and biological obstacles in agricultural production, Genetic engineering is major opportunity for control agriculture and food. Concentration of agribusiness Corporations and vertical integration of food production and consumption have been accelerated by genetic engineering of agriculture and food production. Agriculture and food are under the control of Seed corporations like Monsanto and major grain processing and marketing corporations like Cargill. Their power to control food can threaten to safety of food. They have invested vast amount of money in genetic engineering to reap the potential of it. Corporation, scientist and regulating authorities in USA have not accepted the potential risks of genetically engineered food. The regulation of GM food is based on "substantial equivalence" and don"t require any labeling. As risks of GM food are analysed based on data which are produced and presented by corporations, the objectivity and transparency of risk assessment process would be seriously threatened. It is reported that some data are left out and concealed and "revolving door" of staffs exchange between corporation and regulation authority is another factor to the risks of GM food. The precautionary regulation and labeling of all GM food are required for minimizing risks of GM food.
