As of recent estimates, about 70-80% of processed foods in the U.S. contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in some form. Globally, the percentage of GMO products varies by region and type of crop, with significant use in major crops like soybeans, corn, and cotton. However, the overall percentage of the world's total food products that are genetically modified is lower, as many fresh produce items and whole foods are not genetically engineered.

How much does it cost to make gmo products?

The cost of making GMO products can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of crop, the scale of production, and the specific technology used for genetic modification. Generally, initial research and development costs can be high, often reaching millions of dollars, due to the need for extensive testing and regulatory approval. However, once developed, the cultivation of GMO crops can be more cost-effective than non-GMO counterparts, as they may require fewer pesticides and have higher yields. Overall, the economics of GMO production often favor large-scale agricultural operations.

List of Genetically modified food in the Philippines?

I don't have a list yet but you can be pretty sure that snacks made with corn from the USA have GMO corn in them. I have read that about 97% of corn grown in the US is GMO. So, Cheetos, Doritos and other snacks imported from the US. You will need to discover the source of the corn which is in Philippine products such as Chippy. I read that GMO corn has been tested but I don't know if GMO corn is grown in the Philippines. In the US GMO soybeans are also grown. So, be careful of imported soy ingredients.
