No, agave is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). It is a natural plant that has been cultivated for centuries for its sweet sap, which is used to produce agave syrup and tequila. While selective breeding has occurred to enhance certain traits, agave itself has not been genetically engineered in a laboratory setting like GMOs.
If you are a farmer, you know the corn you are gowing is GMO because you buy seeds that are known to be GMO. If you are gowing non-GMO varieties, you do not know if GMO vaieties have cross pollinated with your corn unless you get it tested. If you are a consumer, you do not know if the corn or processed foods containing corn is GMO unless it is labeled as such. In the United States GMO foods are not labeled.
GMO stands for genetically modified organism. To confirm the GMO status of the sample, it must be labeled as GMO by the producers.
