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.
