		Aloisius 1 day ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The US has approved CRISPR pigs for food Sure. And I'd advertise in large print, "PRRS Virus Free" Considering the prevalence of PRRSV, it would be difficult for farms with non-CRISPRed pigs to say the same.

Farms without immune pigs can still claim it. Do some sampling tests, culling etc and call the product "virus free". But calling modified pigs not modified is tougher, I think.
