Abstract The purpose of this project was, to determine whether any correlation existed between genetically engineered peanuts, and increased peanut allergies. Since there are no genetically engineered peanuts currently this was done by researching soy. By knowing such information if peanuts were to be genetically modified then the risks associated with it would be known, and a way around the obstacle could be developed.
