GMO ingredients are any foods or food ingredients that have been genetically modified in a lab.
Sadly, almost all the food out there is genetically modified(gm). You can find more natural foods by purchasing organic or all natural products, but they are not guaranteed to be gm free.
Genetically modified foods do need stricter controls. Since they are not natural, it is important that very strict guidelines are followed in order to ensure that they are healthy, and will not cause harm.

Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
Genetically modified foods will go bad. The only thing that is different is the size and nutritional value of it.
In general, non-genetically modified foods of any type (including whole soybeans) are preferred to the their genetically modified counterparts because the long-term health effects of consuming genetically modified foods have not been properly documented yet. There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.
Genetically modified
Genetically enhanced. Pretty much the same as genetically modified.
In the United States, GMO foods are not labeled, even though at least 70% of the processed foods sold in grocery stores contain GMO ingredients.
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
One of the disadvantages of the genetically modified foods is that it allows animal products in plants which could raise issues for those with dietary restrictions like the vegans. The advantage of the genetically modified foods is that they can increase the crop yield in a very small acreage.
