As we enter the new millennium, science and technology are advancing in new ways that were once viewed as impossible. Recently, scientists have been experimenting in a controversial area, genetics. Researchers are developing techniques to genetically modify organisms to increase the final yield in food products (1). GM, or genetically modified, food involves altering a plant, animal or micro-organism's genes or inserting one gene from one organism to another (2). The labeling of these genetically modified foods has become a recent issue. One product in particular that can greatly benefit from biotechnology is hard cheese. The genetically modified organism is not in the final cheese product, but only used in the making of the cheese.
