First GM food was Tomato, 1994. First GM crop was tobacco, 1983.
TOMATO
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.

The stated reason is lack of scientific scrutiny. The real reason is that they caved to public pressure despite scientific evidence of safety.

Yes, the public should know if the food they buy contain GMOs.

There is an official American Life website. It is called This American Life and it has podcasts and RealAudio streams. This American Life is a weekly public radio show.

" The transgenic products under testing seem to be safe in terms of allergenic potential. We propose post market testing as an important screening strategy for putative allergic sensitization to proteins introduced in transgenic plants."

It had started in the 1940's but it has increased the most in the 1970's. Actually, the first GM foods were grown in California in the early 1990's. What the answer above was referring to was the Green Revolution which started in the 1940's, which was however the basis of GM foods. The Green Revolution was the start of HYV (similar to GM foods) which are High-Yielding varieties. These are genetically modified crops which have higher yields (in essence, you get more out of your crop). Also, the first GM foods were sold in 1996.
