    The Flavr Savr tomato was the first genetically engineered food approved for human consumption by the FDA in 1994. Calgene added an antisense gene to slow ripening and prevent softening and rotting while retaining flavor and color. However, the tomatoes were too delicate for transport and had a bland taste, being off the market by 1997 due to production and shipping difficulties as well as poor flavor.

    Flavr Savr tomato


    The Flavr Savr tomato was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food to be granted a license for human consumption. By adding an antisense gene, the California-based company Calgene hoped to slow the ripening process of the tomato to prevent softening and rotting, while allowing the tomato to retain its natural flavor and color. The FDA approved the Flavr Savr in 1994; however, the tomatoes were so delicate that they were difficult to transport, and they were off the market by 1997. On top of production and shipping problems, the tomatoes were also reported to have a very bland taste: The Flavr Savr tomatoes didnt taste that good because of the variety from which they were developed. There was very little flavor to save, said Christ Watkins, a horticulture professor at Cornell University.
