GMO foods are basically the same as non-GMO foods except that they contain ingredients that have been genetically engineered. Basically, that is the process of removing a gene from one species (often a bacteria) and inserting it into another species (often corn or soy). The technology is relatively young and the effects of eating GMO foods has not been determined.
