consumer rights- outcrossing

defination:
Outcrossing

Outcrossing typically occurs accidentally, but poses a real health risk to consumers of genetically-modified crops. Outcrossing occurs when genetically-modified seed used to grow genetically-modified crops is mixed up with a conventional crop with the similar type of gene is transferred to the conventional crop. This becomes a problem since some crops are not safe for human consumption and are grown strictly for such things as animal feed. (Corp, 2011)
