What are some examples of gm food available to buy?

The availability of GM (genetically modified) food available depends on where you live. In some parts of the world, GM foods are banned for human consumption. In the US, most GM foods are considered by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to be equivalent in nutritional value and safey to their non-GM counterparts. Most foods made in the US that contain soy, corn, or canola oil contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and you can't be sure unless the label says they DON'T contain these, because there is no rule to ensure GMO containing foods are labeled as such in the US (GMO labeling is voluntary in US). Some GM zucchini, apples, papayas, sugar beets, and milk are sold in supermarkets. In fact, it is hard to know which foods have GMO's and which do not, in the US.


What are Genetically modified food safety?

Genetically modified (GM) food safety refers to the assessment and regulation of foods that have been altered using genetic engineering techniques to ensure they are safe for human consumption and the environment. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, EFSA, and WHO, evaluate GM foods for potential health risks, allergenicity, and environmental impact before approval. Extensive research has generally shown that GM foods are as safe as their conventional counterparts, but ongoing monitoring and public transparency are essential for maintaining consumer trust. Concerns about GM foods often center around long-term health effects, ecological balance, and ethical considerations.

Are GM foods assessed differently from traditional foods?

Yes, genetically modified (GM) foods are typically assessed differently from traditional foods. Regulatory agencies often require extensive safety evaluations for GM foods, focusing on potential allergenicity, toxicity, and nutritional changes, due to the introduction of new genetic material. In contrast, traditional foods undergo more general safety assessments based on their long history of consumption. This difference in assessment reflects the need to address specific concerns associated with genetic modification.

When did genetically modified food start?

It had started in the 1940's but it has increased the most in the 1970's. Actually, the first GM foods were grown in California in the early 1990's. What the answer above was referring to was the Green Revolution which started in the 1940's, which was however the basis of GM foods. The Green Revolution was the start of HYV (similar to GM foods) which are High-Yielding varieties. These are genetically modified crops which have higher yields (in essence, you get more out of your crop). Also, the first GM foods were sold in 1996.
