Bioengineered tomato seed mix-up sparks debate on GMO seed spread and biodiversity impact.

A mix-up over bioengineered tomato seeds caused fears over the spread of GMO crops. The Purple Galaxy Tomato, featured in Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds' catalog, was mistakenly identified as a non-GMO variety. However, it may have been the recently released GMO Purple Tomato created using snapdragon flower genes by Norfolk Healthy Produce. The mix-up has sparked debate about the spread of GMO seeds and their impact on biodiversity.
