The approval serves as a greenlight for producers to mass-produce the GE pigs. Known as GalSafe pigs, these pigs do not have the alpha-gal sugars in their system. Alpha-gal is a sugar molecule found in most mammals, including pigs. These sugars can trigger mild to a severe allergic reaction called the AGS (Alpha-Gal Syndrome).
