Most lettuce varieties available in grocery stores are not genetically modified organisms (GMOs). While some crops, such as corn and soybeans, are commonly genetically modified, lettuce remains largely a conventionally bred plant. However, researchers continue to study genetic modification techniques to enhance traits like disease resistance or shelf life in lettuce and other vegetables. Always check labels if you are concerned about GMOs in your food.
