Genetically modified microorganisms have great application potential in the food industry. They can improve production efficiency, ensure a stable supply of food ingredients, innovate food types, and produce food ingredients that better meet consumer needs. With the announcement of the safety assessment requirements for genetically modified microorganisms by the National Food Safety Assessment Center on September 13, 2024, it is expected that in 2025, many new food ingredients produced by related genetically modified microorganisms will be accepted, such as N-acetylglucosamine, ergothioneine, etc.
