GMO soy was the first commercially planted genetically modified crop. It was first planted in 1996. Before that, the Flavor Saver tomato was sold, but consumers did not accept the quality. There was also a GMO potato, but it did not pass the scientific studies. Both are not being sold any longer, and in fact, the potato was never on the market.
