Alguns ingredientes (enzimas) geneticamente modificados podem provocar alergias

E estão em... Comida, detergentes, etc. e tal:

Citando:
"Researchers took blood samples from 813 workers routinely exposed to genetically modified (GM) enzymes from working in the food, drinks, chemicals, detergents and pharmaceutical industries.
They found antibodies – proteins produced in response to the presence of the GM enzymes – in just under a quarter of those tested. 
The most commonly detected antibodies were derived from exposure to alpha amylase, stainzyme, and pancreatinin, which are predominantly used in detergents and home care products.
However, just having antibodies doesn't prove a person has an allergy."
