Scientists in South Korea, who created the CRISPR-edited dogs, hope that the technique could be used to eliminate disease-causing mutations from pedigree dog breeds.
Gene-edited foods could be hitting our shelves as soon as next year, including vitamin D-fortified tomatoes, bird-flu resistant chickens and mushrooms that don t go brown.
UK consumers said they should be given a choice on whether to buy produce from crops and livestock with altered DNA, while one said labelling was essential so I can choose what I put in my body .
The researchers from the John Innes Centre in Norwich claim the vitamin D you can get from eating one of these genetically modified tomatoes is equivalent to two eggs or 28 grams of tuna.
