No. It is identical, same gene, as that found in a bacteria. Same as
above. Let's clarify this. You say it's ok to have and eat it on the
outside, but not on the inside, right?

Actually if I try I can find out what is in my food. In the EU, BZ etc
I don't have the right to make the choice. What I want to eat is
outlawed. Because I prefer food that has a BT gene and is hence not
sprayed with pesticide.
When we found out that GM mangoes had saved the industry in Hawaii we
went and bought a whole bunch.
Think it was mangoes. Might have been papayas.
