The E.coli organism is used extensively in many, many genetic engineering uses. I don’t know who regulates the myriad of experiments conducted with GM E.Coli.

Thanks for the useful report. One comment: I wish some sound research could be facilitated on the connection between aspartame and the ecoli problems in Europe: an article in The Independent reports: “Aspartame is made by combining phenylalanine, which is naturally produced by bacteria, with another amino acid. Monsanto has genetically engineered the bacteria to make them produce more phenylalanine. Scientists fear that other unknown compounds, which may end up in food, are produced by the genetic engineering process.”
If consumer’s bacterial gut flora is thus modified then it would account for the virulent new species of ecoli that have emerged….
