Has anyone used Quality Protein Maize (QPM)? (maybe you Arya??)
Is it a GMO? It sounds like it has the best of everything but if it´s a GMO there would probably be some resistance to using it.

Hello MRios,

According to the source below QPM was not discovered using genetic engineering techniques but through conventional breeding.

The book below summarise some information about the history of QPM:
Quality Protein Maize

I couldn't find much about current production methods for this product and I have never used it so I cannot be more helpful.


Regards,
Marco
Thank you very much for the info Marco. We have a meeting with other QA people from the company next week and it´ll be great to share this with them.
