On the BBC today, an informal review by two reporters on an Impossible Burger

According to CEO interview they have created heme iron by genetically modifying yeast. This is scary since what they are doing is genetically changing microbes in algae in a large scale industrial process. No mention of what controls are in place to ensure there are no rogue modifications happening. GMO scares me rigid. I thought GMO was restricted in the UK to experimental sites under strict controls, so how come these are freely on sale in the UK?
