Genetically modified food is created in a lab by removing a gene from one organism and forcing it into an organism of a different species.
You are referring to GMO or genetically modified organisms AKA Franken-food.
A GMO food is one that has been genetically modified by removing a gene from one species and forcing it into the seeds of another species in a lab.
GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified.

Genetically modified foods are those that have been genetically engineered to insert a gene from one species (often a bacteria) into another species (corn, soy, etc). This is accomplished by cutting a target gene that will produce a desired trait from one species and artificially inserting it into the target plant.
Without technology, there would be no genetically modified foods, because the technology to remove a gene or genes from one species and insert it into another to produce a desired trait would not be available.
Genetically modified food is created in a lab by taking a gene from one species and inserting into another species to create a desired result. Geographically, they are created in many countries throughout the world. Many are created by United States' companies, such as Monsanto.
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are different from non-genetically modified organisms in that GMO have had their genes manipulated and intentionally changed by human action in a laboratory. With GMO we can introduce any particular character by providing gene sequence responsible for that character

Except for the rBGH hormone used in animals raised for food, genetically engineered food does not actually contain drugs. Genetically modified foods involve extracting a gene from one species (often a bacteria) and inserting it into another species (often corn or soybeans) in order to bring about a desired trait. This process is also used to develop new drugs
Generally, foods are genetically modified by taking a gene from one species and forcing into the cells of another species in a lab to produce a desired trait. This differs from hybridization in that it is transgenic (between species) and the gene is physically forced into the cells.
A genetically modified organism results from a gene being removed from one organism and artificially inserted into an organism of a totally different species. This is a simplified explanation and the process is done in a lab.
