The FDA classified genetically modified foods as "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods. They do not have to pass human testing prior to being produced and sold to consumers or at any other time.

What is the difference between bioengineered crops and genetically modified crops?

Bioengineered crops and genetically modified (GM) crops often refer to similar concepts, but there are subtle distinctions. Bioengineered crops are those that have been altered using biotechnology techniques, which may include methods like gene editing. In contrast, genetically modified crops typically refer to those that have had specific genes inserted or modified using traditional GM techniques. Essentially, all bioengineered crops can be considered genetically modified, but not all genetically modified crops fall under the broader category of bioengineering, as the latter encompasses a wider range of biotechnological innovations.

Downsides of genetically modified carrots?

Genetically modified foods are generally modified to accept/work with pesticides better. Monsanto makes a product called Round-Up and genetically modified foods are sometimes called Round-Up Ready crops. The downside to granting any company a monopoly over any foodstuff could be very serious. If you fail to buy the required pesticide product, you simply don't get to have as much food. And once these GM crops are in the fields, cross-contamination with other crops is unavoidable.
