Weird Kashrut Question

[debka_notion]

What do you all know about current thinking on genetically modified foods and kashrut? Is it ok ever? Is it shatnez or something similar (my thought was that it would be parallel perhaps to the permission to use a mule although we aren't allowed to breed one)? I should go do some genuine research, but I figured I'd poll the more knowledgable in the process...

There's a prohibition against mixing breeds of plants (kilayim), but it's considered to be very restricted in its application and doesn't apply to genetic modification.
