How can you test a food to find out if it contains material derived from a genetically modified organism?

This can be done many ways. One is using an antibody-based test such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which can detect the proteins that are produced by GM crops. However, the ELISA is not useful for testing foods that is highly processed, because the proteins most likely destroyed & different GM foods produce different proteins. Another way is to use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to look at the DNA sequence common in GM foods. DNA is more resistant than proteins in processing & can be extracted from heavy processed foods. It is the GMO DNA sequences that's being looked for & tested.
