These are usually called GMOs. An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO).Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification.While there is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.

Why are genetically modified organisms so controversial?
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are controversial primarily due to concerns about their potential impact on human health, the environment, and biodiversity. Critics argue that GMOs may lead to unintended consequences, such as the development of pesticide-resistant pests or the loss of traditional crop varieties. Additionally, ethical considerations around food labeling and corporate control of the food supply contribute to public apprehension. Supporters, however, point to the potential benefits of GMOs, including increased yields and reduced pesticide use.
